Bookpower's proud history:

1969	Searchfast Systems Limited was formed to develop information retrieval systems for use by universities and later by large commercial clients.
1977	While contracted to the 3rd largest school board in the country, Searchfast developed a modernized Textbook Management Solution that saved them hundreds of thousands of $/year by streamlining purchase, repair and distribution of textbooks and other teaching resources between schools.
1993	Ontario School Book Exchange was formed to extend the Textbook Management Solution to other Ontario school boards
1994	OSBE was renamed Canadian School Book Exchange (CSBE) as the company expanded its operation nationwide. Many additional services were added such as Tuffbinding^TM, traditional rebinding, recycling programs etc.
1999	CSBE pioneered a new online student ordering and textbook management system for top independent schools. This service grew rapidly due to fantastic word of mouth, one school to another! Currently, CSBE serves 34 top independent schools, night schools and distance learning programs in Canada.
2015	CSBE opened our Amazon store to offer off-curriculum books at reasonable prices to the general public, facilitated by the ever-increasing inflow of quality surplus off-curriculum books from parents of top independent schools, district libraries and the general public.
2019	Bookpower.com was launched to offer a wider selection of new and used learning and recreational resources, at better prices, directly to customers while facilitating an easier way to sell, donate or recycle no-longer-needed resources.
