OLA Pre-Budget Submissions
2022 Ontario Pre-Budget Submission
Working alongside our partners at the Federation of Ontario Public Libraries (FOPL), OLA is continuing advocacy for Ontario’s libraries.
Our 2022 Budget Recommendation are:
- Keep local public libraries across Ontario sustainable by enhancing provincial operating funding for public libraries and ensure that this increased support reaches those libraries where it is most needed.
- Working alongside First Nations Public Library leaders, rapidly implement a sustainable funding model for public libraries on reserve to ensure that these important local hubs are fully-funded and viable. This includes increasing direct provincial funding support to sustainably fund library operations and ensure a living income for frontline library staff in these communities.
- Provide critical e-learning support and fair access to modern, digital resources for all Ontario public
