I Read Canadian Day / La Journée des livres canadiens pour moi 2024
/ is a national day of celebration dedicated to reading books by Canadian authors, illustrators, and publishers. The purpose of this annual event is to raise awareness of Canadian books and appreciate the “richness, diversity and breadth” of Canadian literature.

With so many great books to choose from, reading “Canadian” is easier than ever. Board books, picture books, fiction, non-fiction and graphic novels are available in print, audio and digital formats (SORA) in English, French, Indigenous languages, and many other language options around the world.
