CBA Libris Awards

Unique in their commitment to acknowledging the best among the chain of talented professionals who deliver great books to Canadian readers, and nominated and voted on by members of the Canadian bookselling community, CBA Libris Awards honour outstanding achievement by authors and editors, sales reps and distributors, booksellers and publishers. Prior to 2010, the children’s categories included children's author of the year and children’s illustrator of the year. In 2010, the categories were revised to Children's Picture Book of the Year and Young Readers' Book of the Year.

Canadian Booksellers Association (CBA) announces its CBA Libris Awards nominees annually in the spring, while winners are announced during CBA’s Libris Awards Presentation, which takes place in May/June.
