Young Alberta Book Society

Fostering literacy and a love of reading since 1983.

Introducing YABS TV! Our driving purpose at YABS has always been to bring Alberta's literary artists together with students. We believe that artist visits are a unique opportunity to connect with students, help educators supplement curriculum and enhance literacy programming, and provide meaningful work for artists. The COVID-19 outbreak has created significant challenges for all of us. To bridge the gap until schools are back in session and in-person artist visits are possible again, we’ve contracted our artists to make dozens of short videos for students to help parents and educations who are working on distance learning with their kids.
