EXPLORE THE LOCAL BOOKSHELF

Discover the Magic of Locally Written Children’s Books With The Local Bookshelf

Welcome to The Local Bookshelf! We are excited to share children’s books with inspirational, reflective and important messages for children and their grown-ups written by authors in Vancouver, Canada and surrounding areas. 

We Do School Fundraisers!

Partner with The Local Bookshelf for Your Next School Fundraiser!

 

At The Local Bookshelf, we believe in building strong communities through the power of reading—and that starts with our schools. Our school fundraiser program is a fun, easy way to raise money while inspiring young readers and supporting local business.

Here’s how it works: families shop from our curated collection of books, and a portion of every purchase goes directly back to your school. It’s a win for students, a win for schools, and a win for your neighborhood bookstore.

Let’s work together to grow minds and strengthen our community—one book at a time!
