Our membership year runs from September to August.
The Vancouver Children’s Literature Roundtable is volunteer organized and operated. Among other things, your membership fee goes toward paying for the flights, accomodation, and speaking fees of our many guest speakers as well as the meeting venues at which events are hosted throughout the year. Fees also go toward subsidising the discounted student admission fees. In the past VCLR has also provided financial support to graduate research conferences at UBC as well as to the Ronald Jobe Children’s Literature Scholarship fund and the Information Book Award.
With your membership you will receive advance invitations to all VCLR events, discounted members-only pricing, and early-bird event prices. You will also belong to an enthusiastic group of people dedicated to furthering children’s literature in Vancouver. Our members include authors, illustrators, students, teachers, librarians, book sellers, and people with a keen interest in promoting the best Canadian literature for children and youth in Vancouver.
You can purchase your annual membership online with a credit card. Or you can complete a membership form and mail us a cheque. Unless specified all of our events require membership
