The CCBC is now accepting submissions for the fall 2026 selection period for Best Books for Kids & Teens (BBKT). The deadline to complete the title submission form(s) is June 1, 2026. The physical books are due at Tinlids no later than June 19, 2026.
We receive hundreds of submissions each year. Expert committees of educators, booksellers and school and public librarians from across Canada handpick the materials listed in the guide. Committees look for excellence in writing and illustration. Most importantly, these committees focus on selecting materials that will appeal to children and young adults.
