Whereas British Columbians across all age-groups demand that public libraries offer crucial information and resource services while providing programs that enhance connections, learnings, and skill-building for a stronger community; And whereas rural local governments continue to face increasing cost barrier and pressure of providing these services without significant provincial contribution: Therefore it be resolved that UBCM request the provincial government to re-enact successful continuance of public libraries and their critical contribution to BC communities by restoring library funding to a level that reflects both the inflationary cost increase since 2009 and the value of this system to the province.
