Welcome, authors!

The North Shore is home to a burgeoning community of talented authors, and we want to help connect local readers to local authors!

North Vancouver City Library, North Vancouver District Public Library, and West Vancouver Memorial Library proudly present a collection of works that showcases the gifted writers in our midst. The North Shore Authors Collection inspires, supports, and celebrates the literary talent of North Shore authors by highlighting locally created content in all three North Shore libraries for one year, starting in the fall.

Applications for the 2026/2027 collection are closed. Please check back in April 2027 to apply for the next collection.
