Welcome to the Voices for School Libraries Network

The Voices for School Libraries Network was launched so that teacher librarians and school library staff across Canada can meet, discuss issues, ask questions, form like minded groups, (either by province or territory or by themes like Advocacy or Literacy Skills), post pictures and videos. Anyone working in or for school libraries in Canada is invited to join.

Dozens of school librarians in central Nova Scotia are losing their jobs as the Chignecto-Central Regional School Board scrambles to cut costs.


Monica Nielsen, one of the librarians affected, was shocked by the news. She had been expecting an increased workload or shorter hours, but not an outright dismissal for 41 librarians.

"That was just impossible to believe," said Nielsen, who added that the cuts will have an impact on all students - from those looking for a book to those seeking a safe space.

The board, which runs schools in northern and central Nova Scotia, is facing a drop in enrolment and a $6.5-million shortfall this year.
