Representing Municipal Outside, Library and Public Health Employees in the Municipality of Chatham-Kent.
Chatham-Kent is keeping many library branches closed even though Ontario has entered Phases 1 & 2, which allow libraries to provide curbside pickup, home service, limited on-site services, and online services. Many Municipalities around Ontario have opened their libraries far more broadly than CK. Let Mayor Canniff and Council know that you value library services in Chatham-Kent!

Library service in Ontario is being threatened, with SOLS and OLS-North announcing they are facing cuts to their budget of 50% or more. These cuts will be particularly devastating for rural, remote and Indigenous libraries.
Visit Save Our Libraries: Stop the cuts to SOLS and Ontario Library Service-North to learn more about the value of SOLS and OLS-North and to sign the petition asking the Ontario Government to reconsider and rescind these cuts to library service.
