Event: the Impact of Tariffs on BC Libraries

This Friday, May 30th at 10am – 11:15am PDT, Scott Hargrove CEO of Fraser Valley Regional Library is offering a special presentation on the Impact of Tariffs on BC Libraries via Zoom.

Recent tariffs imposed on Canada and countries around the world by the U.S., have caused significant alarm within the publishing world and a nationwide response from libraries and bookstores as books are proposed to be included in the next round of Canadian counter tariffs. The situation is far from over with further concerns for the economy, such as increasing costs and inflation, and a strain on supply-chain demands causing uncertainty and market instability. Attend this session with your questions! Presented in partnership with the BC Library Trustees Association.
