The Governor General’s Literary Awards are given annually to the best English-language and the best French-language book in each of seven categories:

• Fiction
• Literary Non-fiction
• Poetry
• Drama
• Young People’s Literature (Text)
• Young People’s Literature (Illustrated Books)
• Translation (from French to English, and English to French).

Thanks to our partnership with this program, NNELS is able to receive advance notice of finalists and make the winners available in accessible formats as quickly as possible. However, due to production limitations, our collections may not contain an exhaustive list of all award winners. For a complete list of winners, and for further information about the program, please visit the General's Literary Awards website.

While we cannot always produce every longlisted title, if our collections do not contain a book you would like to read, or your preferred format is not available, we encourage you to send us a request! To access our request form, log into your NNELS account and search for the book you want. If we do not currently have the book in our libraries, there will be a link to the Title Request Form above the filters on any page of search results.
