Manitoba Library Associations Working Group Environmental Scan
A review of library associations across the country revealed the following interesting facts:
Number of associations per province:
It should be noted that the majority of library associations in Ontario are under the umbrella of the Ontario Library Association. If we were to treat all the divisions within OLA as a single organization, then the number of associations would be three (3). There is a regional association, Atlantic Provinces Library Association, which includes membership from New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and PEI. It is not included in the number of associations for each of these provinces.
Governance of Provincial Library Associations across Canada
Most provincial library associations across Canada have a structure which allows for divisions, committees or interest groups. Membership fees vary from one fee for the association as a whole, to a fee for the major association with extra dues depending on the number of interest groups, divisions the individual wishes to join.
