Provincial funding for B.C.'s public libraries has been frozen since 2014 – while our population has shot up 20% and demand for library services has never been higher. 

Our libraries today are far more than books – they're critical community infrastructure. They provide free internet to help people find jobs, access services, and stay connected. They help people of all ages build skills and community. At a time when disinformation is everywhere, they're one of the last places people can turn to find information they can trust. 

Without more funding, libraries can’t keep up. Workers’ wages will fall further behind. Staff shortages will deepen. Hours will be cut. Programs will disappear. Will you sign the petition calling on B.C.’s political leaders to provide sustainable funding to our libraries?
