A Libris Award is a prize for Canadian literature.
It is awarded by the Canadian Booksellers Association (CBA) on an annual basis.
[2] The awards are presented at the national CBA conference gala.
[3] Notable previous winners include Alice Munro, Mordecai Richler, senator and former United Nations peacekeeping commander Roméo Dallaire, politician and diplomat Stephen Lewis, and environmentalist David Suzuki.
[4][5][6][7] The bookseller awards, meant to recognize "excellence in book retailing",[1] are not necessarily indicative of profit: as a National Post article noted, one Toronto-based bookstore announced that it was closing only a few days after receiving the Specialty Bookseller award.
