On October 8, 2015, the Future Federation Working Group released the proposal titled “Toward a Federation of Library Associations in Canada : Strengthening the National Voice for Canadian libraries”. The proposal is the result of eight months of discussion and collaboration by a diverse group of representatives from the provincial, territorial and national sector associations brought together to contemplate a new form for our sector’s national library association. The Working Group developed the proposal to serve as the foundation for a strong national library voice. Our goal was to provide a framework that embraces a broad range of colleagues, institutions, associations, and organizations across the country as the first step toward building an even stronger library community.
BCLA has been actively involved in the Working Group and is pleased to be sharing the proposal, and the survey for feedback on the proposal, with members. We hope you will review the proposal, linked at the top of the survey, and then provide the Working Group with your feedback by completing the survey. The information we gather will be crucial for determining future revisions to the proposal and for determining next steps for a national library association.
