IBBY Canada is the Canadian National Section of the International Board on Books for Young People, a non-profit organization.
Membership is connected through regional councillors, a newsletter, and through programs and activities initiated by both IBBY Canada and their international partners.
The IBBY Canada executive consists of volunteers from the Canadian children's literature communities, including those who work in publishing or are librarians, booksellers, authors, and academics.
Members are invited to attend the annual general meeting, which is usually held in Toronto in February.
Jella Lepman, founder of the International Youth Library in Munich, started IBBY in 1953 in postwar Germany, with the goal to promote international cultural understanding through children's books.
