Public Library Services Branch (PLSB), in partnership with the Book Publishers Association of Alberta (BPAA), has launched the Prairie Indigenous eBook Collection containing over 200 titles from publishers in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
The first of its kind in Canada, the Prairie Indigenous collection increases access to stories by Indigenous authors and writings about Indigenous culture. Discover notable Canadian authors such as Eden Robinson, Dawn Dumont, Richard Van Camp, Lee Maracle, Will Cardinal, Chelsea Vowel and Katherena Vermette as well as new literary voices on this digital platform. The collection will continue to grow with more titles added each year.
The Prairie Indigenous eBook Collection adds to 1,500 other titles in the Alberta eBooks Collection, which launched in 2017. These eBooks are available to all Alberta public library patrons through their local library. Parkland patrons can access the collection on the Read tab of our eLibrary page or directly at http://prl.cantookstation.com/
