Libraries play a vital role in building strong, resilient communities across Canada. As we approach the next federal election, it’s more important than ever for Members of Parliament (MPs) to recognize how libraries contribute to education, inclusion, and community development.
This election presents a key opportunity to connect with local candidates from all major parties and advocate for sustainable library funding. By meeting with candidates and sharing your experiences, you can highlight the critical role libraries play in supporting literacy, digital access, and social equity—while also addressing the challenges they face.
To help with this, CFLA-FCAB has created an Elections Kit with essential resources, including:
✔ Email templates for reaching out to candidates
✔ A guide to having productive meetings
✔ A one-pager on why libraries are essential to Canada’s social infrastructure
✔ Social media graphics & captions to spread awareness
We encourage library supporters to take action by engaging with local candidates and raising awareness. All politics begin at the local level, and your voice can make a difference!
