More Funding won’t help Ontario libraries

The $40 million announced Thursday for new library staff in Ontario’s elementary schools, won’t translate into a single librarian locally, school boards say. “The intention is a good one and we’ll make the best use that we can of the money,” said Paul Wubben, education director for the St. Clair Catholic District School Board. But his board’s share of the funding amounts to $99,950 in each of the next four years.
