BCLTA's ADVOCACY WORK

BCLTA engages at a provincial level on behalf of library boards across BC. Our ongoing advocacy work includes:

  • Regular meetings with the Director of Public Library Services Branch to discuss library issues from a trustee perspective, and to advocate for positive changes in provincial support for libraries;
  • An annual meeting with the Ministry responsible for libraries;
  • Participation at the annual Union of BC Municipalities Convention. BCLTA organizes a libraries reception, which is co-hosted by the BC Library Association (BCLA) and the Association of BC Public Library Directors (ABCPLD), and ensures libraries are “top of mind” with delegates;
  • Regular meetings with other provincial library organizations, such as the BC Library Association (BCLA) and the Association of BC Public Library Directors (ABCPLD);
  • Monitoring legislative government legislation that directly or indirectly affects libraries;
