BC Book Prize Auction

I received a request from BC Book Prize to put a link to their auction on my website, so here it is.  I went to the site myself and there are a lot of great things to bid on and in doing so you will be helping support and promote writers and illustrators in BC.  Not only that, but the BC Book Prize group also tour authors and illustrators around BC to schools that otherwise might not have had the funds or opportunity to have a real live author or artist visit their school.  AND every year BC Book Prize finds local sponsors who make massive donations to buy books for the school libraries in BC.  Which is a godsend, since funding for our libraries over the last few years has been whittled down to a pittance.

So, if you are feeling flush and you have your 8 month emergency fund socked away, and you have topped up your RRSP as well as invested in your TFS, and you have a little spare cash rattling around in your pocket and feel like doing a good deed, check out the auction and see if there is anything that grabs your fancy.
