ACP condemns Alberta’s recent banning of "sexually explicit" books in school libraries, which disproportionately targets 2SLGBTQIA+ titles under the pretense of age-appropriateness. All students deserve to see themselves reflected in the stories they read.

ACP condemns the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling which targets LGBTQ+ children’s books like Pride Puppy! published by @orcabook. Limiting students’ exposure to stories that reflect the real diversity of society undermines the mission of public education.

ACP is very excited to be displaying our members' books at the #NAISA2025 Conference this year! Our table features some of the leading Indigenous literature by Indigenous and Canadian independent presses. 📚 A special thank you to @UBCPress for volunteering to staff the table!

ACP is honoured to announce that Margaret Bryant, former Sales Director at @orcabook, is the recipient of the 2025 President’s Award, and Kieran Leblanc, former ED of @ABbookpub has been presented with honorary lifetime membership in ACP.

The Canadian publishing industry urges thoughtful, inclusive dialogue on Alberta’s "Ensuring Age-Appropriate Books in School Libraries” initiative. The review disproportionately targets 2SLGBTQIA+ content and lacks transparency & professional input.

Books don’t write, edit or publish themselves. Copyright ensures creators & publishers can keep doing what they do best—bringing Canadian stories to life. We need policies that protect publishers & creators so 🇨🇦 books can thrive at home & globally. #WorldBookAndCopyrightDay.

Copyright is essential to publishers' business. Without changes to the Copyright Act, future investment in Canadian-specific learning materials is at risk. Legislative changes are essential to ensuring a sustainable educational publishing industry.

Canadian books are being used without consent or compensation to train generative AI. Tech giants like Meta have fueled their platforms with thousands of pirated Canadian titles. We need AI policy that doesn't value conglomerates over Canadian creators.

📚 On #WorldBookAndCopyrightDay, we stand with Canadian publishers & creators navigating a challenging copyright landscape due to ambiguity around fair dealing and lack of AI regulations. Strong copyright is essential to support authors, publishers, and the stories that shape us.
