Governor General's Literary Awards 2024
Congratulations to the 2024 Governor General’s Literary Award Nominees! It has been a pleasure to work with the Canada Council for the Arts to bring you the 2024 nominees in accessible formats. As they have in previous years, the Council granted us early access to the nominees' list, which made it possible for us to have them here for you today. The full list of nominees, and further information about the GG's and Canada Council for the Arts, can be found on the Governor General's Literary Awards website.
More titles will be added to this collection over the coming month, so feel free to check back to see what has been included. 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.
