Tell us what you love about your northern B.C. library to bring Canada Reads 2018 books to your community
5 titles are competing in this year's competition
CBC Daybreak North and Canada Reads want residents of northern British Columbia to share stories of what they love about their local libraries.
The person with the best story will earn their community a full set of this year's five Canada Reads contestants to be borrowed through the library.
In addition, Daybreak North host Carolina de Ryk is hosting a regular round-table discussion about the books with Patricia Gibson of the Prince George Library, Lou Allison of the Prince Rupert Library and Wendy Wright of the Smithers Library, to air Monday mornings.
The theme of this year's Canada Reads contest is "one book to open your eyes." The contenders are:
- Mozhdah Jamalzadah, defending The Boat People by Sharon Bala
- Tahmoh Penikett, defending American War by Omar El Akkad
- Greg Johnson, defending Precious Cargo by Craig Davidson
- Jeanne Beker, defending Forgiveness by Mark Sakamoto
- Jully Black, defending The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline
