Canadian Library Association Launches Federal Election Website

The Canadian Library Association (CLA) has launched the website votelibraries.ca.

The site outlines the Canadian library community's main priorities concerning the future of libraries in the country in the context of the upcoming October 19 federal elections.


They are:

• unstable funding for Library and Archives Canada and cuts to federal government libraries
• the long form census
• copyright

It also offers summaries of the positions of the major parties running in the elections relating to issues such as rural broadband service, social infrastructure, the census, among others.
