Enter to Win Limited Edition Holiday Book Boxes from Read Local BC

Read Local BC is hosting a contest this holiday season, offering readers the chance to win one of three limited edition holiday book boxes. These specially curated boxes, designed by local independent booksellers, aim to promote the joy of reading while supporting local authors, publishers, and bookstores.

Gift Options and Contest Details

As the holiday shopping season approaches, Read Local BC invites participants to select from three unique options: the Indigenous Voices Box, the BC Culinary Box, and the Early Readers Box. Each box showcases a diverse range of literature, making them ideal gifts for book lovers. The contest is open until December 5, or until supplies last, providing ample opportunity for readers to enter and select their preferred box.

In addition to the contest, these holiday book boxes are available for purchase on the Read Local BC website. This initiative not only encourages gift-giving but also supports the local economy by showcasing the work of British Columbia’s literary community.

Building Community Through Literature

Read Local BC, a project of Books BC, emphasizes the importance of fostering a vibrant literary culture. The organization acknowledges support from the Government of Canada through the Canada Book Fund, as well as contributions from the Canada Council for the Arts, Creative BC, and the City of Vancouver. This backing highlights the commitment to nurturing local literature and independent bookstores.

As holiday preparations commence, Read Local BC encourages shoppers to consider local options. Their bookish gift guide, created in partnership with The Tyee, provides further inspiration for those looking to make thoughtful purchases this festive season. Shoppers are reminded to engage with the community by using the hashtag #ReadLocalBC on social media.

This initiative not only celebrates the art of reading but also champions the local literary scene, making it an excellent opportunity for residents to connect with their community while gifting the joy of books.
