Read Local BC, The Association of Book Publishers of BC, Word Vancouver
The Association of Book Publishers of BC (ABPBC), and its affiliated project Read Local BC, celebrates the vibrant community of authors, publishers, bookstores, and libraries that make up our province’s literary landscape.
Each year, in partnership with TransLink and BC Transit, the ABPBC produces a collection of interior bus cards for Poetry in Transit, featuring the work of BC-authored and Canadian-published poets.
The featured poets read their work at an annual Poetry Bus event co-presented by Read Local BC at the Word Vancouver literary festival.
