The CFLA-FCAB is concerned by the Alberta government’s announcement regarding school library resources. We are in touch with our colleagues and member associations in Alberta as well as Canadian School Libraries to offer support as needed.
The Library Association of Alberta and Canadian School Libraries have released statements. The CFLA is in full support of their positions and we encourage everyone to read and support their messaging:
- Library Association of Alberta Statement on Provincial Government Announcement Regarding School Libraries
- Canadian School Libraries Statement on Alberta’s Announcement Regarding Possible Book Bannings
For more information on this issues, please see the following additional resources:
The Government of Alberta will be conducting a public survey to gather input on potential now standards for selecting and managing school library materials until June 6, 2025.You can access the survey HERE.
The CFLA-FCAB will continue to monitor this evolving story and offer support to our members and colleagues.
