News From Canada: Librarians in Newfoundland and Labrador say they remain worried about a hike in the postal rates of shipping books between libraries.
Since the 1930s, Canada Post has been subsidizing the cost of mailing books between libraries.
Last spring, the Crown corporation announced it wanted to end the subsidy, effective at the end of March 2006.
However – after libraries and patron across the country complained of the impact of higher costs – National Revenue Minister John McCallum announced the library rate would continue beyond this April.
