A new paper from the Institute for Research on Public Policy (IRPP) argues that, to provide literacy practitioners with the tools to do their work effectively, the federal government should play a leading role in reinstating that knowledge infrastructure, and makes several recommendations for how to achieve this.

Library and GLAM sector organizations call for federal support for broadband connectivity, access to e-content, municipal funding, library support for vulnerable populations, accessible reading material, and Canadian publishers and booksellers.

Recipients of the 14th annual Council of the Federation Literacy Award include: Red Deer Public Library Adult Literacy Program, Sara Grant (Manager of Youth Services, Surrey Libraries), and Judy Craig (Regina Public Library).
