Advocacy

 
CFLA-FCAB advocates on national or international library issues that cross library sectors, or are in the interest of Canadians.

CFLA-FCAB comments on local, provincial, and territorial matters in collaboration with member associations, and where the CFLA-FCAB Board agrees that a national voice is welcome and valuable.

Vote Libraries is our tool for our members and our members’ members to support discussions with candidates and government officials regarding, infrastructure funding, copyright, accessibility, and Indigenous languages.
