HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1985-03-27, Page 23tl Ontario public libjl'aries will benefit front a total of $31:8 million in funding to support library services for the next fiscal year (1985/86), the Honourable Susan Fish, Minister of Citizenship and Culture, an- nounced today: This represents an increase of $2.3 million, or 7.8 percent over last year in total provincial support to public libraries, Included in this amount is $22 million in direct transfer payments to public libraries. The other $9.8 million provides funding for the Ontario Library Service, provincial sup- port to the Metropolitan Toronto Library Board, and funding for new library in- itiatives introduced by the minister, such as the French Language Library Collection Development program and the Northern Native Library Development program: For the first time ever, the announcement of transfer payments comes early in the year and coincides with other local govern- ment transfer payments. "The change in timing of the provincial grant announcement was requested- by the public library community," said Ms. Fish. "I am pleased that we are able to meet this request. The change in timing will allow bet- ter budget planning for the public library with the municipal or county council, which is their main source of revenue." All Ontario public libraries will receive an increase of 3 per cent in the basic provincial grants. This reflects similar increases recently announced for other nuin%tpal, transfer payments. Many pc library ivAr00' will receive: an even greater increase slide to a Change in theway grants are being calculated. In the past, grants to libraries were • calculated on a per capita basis. In 1985/86, funding will be given on a per household basis, using statistics prepared by . the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and$ousing. The grant for public libraries on Southern Ontario changes, from ,$2.25 perr capita to $5.90 per household. For county libraries and libraries in Northern Ontario; the change is from $2.46, per capita to $6.50 per household. The grant for Indian band libraries will remain on a per capita basis, changing from $2.25 to $2.33 per capita in Southern Ontario and from $2.46 to $2.54 per capita in Nor- thern Ontario. The change to a per household basis will bring the library grants into line with other municipal transfer payments. "Library programs, in Ontario have seen tremendous growth over the past two years. The new Public Libraries , Act, passed in December 1984, has established a legislative base that allows libraries more fexibility to respond to their users' needs," said the Minister. "Wehave one of the finest library systems in the world and my ministry is committed to ensuring it has the resources available to continue to serve the people of this province."
