TranslateECRL Receives Additional Funding for 2025-2026
Eastern Counties Regional Library’s (ECRL) funding advocacy efforts have had some success. ECRL has received an additional $46,200 in provincial funding for the 2025-2026 budget year. This is ECRL’s portion of an additional $800,000 that the province has provided Public Library Regions across the province. As well, ECRL, along with other Public Library Regions, received $10,300 from the dissolution of the Library Boards Association of Nova Scotia (LBANS)
These funds will help to alleviate some of the financial pressures the ECRL Board is facing.
“This infusion of revenue can be attributed to the support regional libraries received from local municipalities who recognize the value of having a public space in our communities” said Clair Rankin, Chair of the Eastern Counties Regional Library (ECRL). He said the addition of the two funding streams will allow ECRL to consider giving staff a cost-of-living boost.
