The new year is fast approaching but we didn’t want to let 2023 end without thanking you — our users, partners, and stakeholders — for your support. We’re very grateful to have the opportunity to collaborate and work alongside so many wonderful people who are contributing to the progress of the Canadian book industry. We can’t wait to see what 2024 brings for our organization and the industry as a whole, and we look forward to continuing to work with you.

The BookNet virtual office will be closed from December 25, 2023, to January 1, 2024, though processing and services will operate as usual during this time, and we'll be checking emails sporadically.

Looking for a way to show us your appreciation? Give us the gift of sharing your feedback about our products and services through our customer satisfaction survey and get a chance to win 1 of 4 $100 gift cards for a local retailer of your choice or 1 of 3 copies of the forthcoming report, The Canadian Book Market 2023. We thank you in advance for helping us shape the future of BookNet.

Thanks and happy holidays from all of us at BookNet!

Take the survey
