And whereas the Province of Ontario is increasingly regarding libraries
as public access points for e-government services, and as distribution
points for information to legislation and government programs and

And whereas the Ajax Public Library Board is vitally interested in the
residents of the Town of Ajax having the widest possible access to the
growing number of government programs and services to further
community aspirations, improve public safety and ensure equitable
access to literacy and life long learning opportunities that are central to
a growing, vibrant community, and which are the cornerstone of a
literate and democratic society;
And whereas between 1992 and 2005, the Provincial grant for the Ajax
Public library declined 34% from $234,903 to the current $154,654 with
similar reductions in funding for all public libraries across the Province;
And whereas the Provincial base funding to all public libraries in the
Province of Ontario has not been increased since 1999 in spite of
significant increases in services, population and operating costs;
And whereas the annual Provincial grant for libraries is based on the
1997 statistics from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for
the number of households in a community, calculated using the 1998
rate of $408 per household;
Be It Resolved That:
1. The Ajax Public Library Board understands the value and
significance of the public library, and its role in creating a
dynamic, connected community, and calls on the Premier of
Ontario, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing and
Minister of Culture to:

a vital resource that works across sectors to meet the
demands of the new knowledge-based economy, AND
supports the future growth and prosperity of Ontario;
b) provide increased provincial funding for public libraries,
and base the Provincial library grant on an updated and
sustainable indexing model;
