2023 Giller Prize Shortlist
These five authors offered up hypnotic, mesmerizing stories to this year’s jury. Each one rare, each one unique. The jury agonized over the final five books, arguing passionately and forcefully for their choices. The list and the authors they ultimately arrived at showcases the depth and breadth of Canadian literature. Congratulations to all.
– Elana Rabinovitch, Executive Director, Scotiabank Giller Prize
This year's winner will be announced live on CBC on November 13, 2023, at 9 p.m. CBC Gem will stream the ceremony, with a livestream also available on cbcbooks.ca/gillerprize. Listeners can tune in to the broadcast special on CBC Radio One and CBC Listen at 9 p.m.
Thank you, library workers!
On Canadian Library Workers Day, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our colleagues at KFPL and all library workers across Canada.
When you think about what you love about the library, it's the library workers who make it all possible.
A Canadian Library Month reading list
More than just a place to find books, libraries promote cultural awareness, engage in the community, provide educational programs, support freedom of expression and so much more.
For Canadian Library Month, our library workers put together a list of our favourite books about libraries!
