Our History

Over twenty years ago, Kidsbooks started as a small idea and has grown over the past decades to be a thriving, exciting environment for children and adults who love reading and great books.

In 1990 Kelly McKinnon joined Kidsbooks and her vision was just what was needed to continue the growth of the bookstore. The first change she made was to computerize the store – that was a big job! Kelly and Phyllis along with their wonderful team have worked hard to make Kidsbooks an exciting and important part of their community. From the original location on Fourth Avenue, Kidsbooks has expanded to include three locations: West Broadway, Edgemont Village in North Vancouver and South Surrey. Amongst many recognitions, Kidsbooks has received the Specialty Bookseller of the Year Award from the Canadian Booksellers Association three times. Phyllis received a BC Community Achievement Award in 2007. And we can proudly boast that we were the first store in Canada to sell the Harry Potter series way back in 1998! People still speak fondly of our “Hogwarts” storefront façade that was part of our celebration for the release of the fourth HP book.

We are proud to be considered a partner of educators, librarians, parents and children as we work together to put the best books into the hands of booklovers in our communities.
