bc Library budget cuts Update

Thank you to everyone who responded to our call for support of public libraries in BC. Although a 22% cut will be made in provincial funding to libraries, the Minister of Education has been fully supportive of libraries and has done her best to preserve the most important areas of library funding and to protect the smallest and most vulnerable of libraries. We thank all our supporters, including the Honourable Margaret MacDiarmid, Minister of Education, for your support and look forward to improved economic conditions in the future when full library funding can be restored.
