AVRL Virtual Forum for All Candidates
The Annapolis Valley Regional Library Board (AVRL) invited all candidates in our region to answer a few questions of vital interest to the library community for a Virtual Forum. Here are the responses that we received, in no particular order. AVRL wishes to thank all candidates who took the time to respond. Stephen Schneider NDP Candidate, Kings South How valuable is the public library to our community? The NDP believes public libraries are a vital cornerstone of our communities. They provide opportunities for learning, community- building, skill development, promotion of arts and culture, education on social issues, and much more. They are accessible spaces where community members of all ages can access information, knowledge, computers and Internet, groups and programs, events and social activities—all at little to no cost. They promote intergenerational and cross-cultural sharing, and are often the birthplace of new and innovative ideas that benefit the public. In addition, they employ over 800 staff in urban and rural communities. In short, libraries are a common treasure that need more support in Nova Scotia! Will libraries receive better core funding under an NDP government? Yes, that should be the outcome of the process we outline below. We believe Nova Scotia’s public library system needs to be better funded. The current funding system is inadequate and variable. Funding for rural libraries is insufficient, in part because of a population-based funding formula. Under an NDP government, funding for the public library system would first be stabilized, and we would initiate a process for implementing equity of library services.
