The CBC Says Neither a borrower nor a lender be – unless you’ve got a big budget for interlibrary loans.
That’s the message some rural libraries say they’re getting from Canada Post, which is ending its subsidized rate for sending library books through the mail.
Next April, the postal company plans to eliminate the library book rate and implement commercial rates for interlibrary loans.
Not the first time for Canada Post
Canada Post did this to the general public quite a few years ago now when they took away the book rate. Now they actually charge you extra if you say it is printed material.
Then the Federal government added a tax on books when you bought them. Makes you wonder.
