Funding decisions may put school libraries in jeopardy
“HRM has made the decision that they will no longer be funding librarians in schools” This quote, although not a word for word transcription, was posted on social media this past weekend by Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development Brendan Maguire in response to questions being raised by school librarians in Halifax. At issue was a fairly robust rumour that, amid the current round of budgeting decisions, Halifax City Council was looking at changing the way it provides supplemental funding for HRCE schools.

School Libraries are not public Libraries. The access is different.

Hey
#HaliSky
Did you know that funding for your school libraries comes from
@hfxgov.bsky.social
supplementary funding budget? Did you know within the schools we’ve heard it’s up for being cut? Please call your councillors and tell them how important it is to keep our school library specialists!

Trump 2.0 could be death-blow-dealing to teacher retention and recruitment efforts.
Well, the hits just keep on coming. As the world watches on with a mix of idolization, awe, revulsion, and fear (political stripe depending), US President Donald Trump and his band of billionaire merry men have continued their blitzkrieg on the very foundations upon which their country was built: Democracy, Rule of Law, and the ideal of a government "Of the people, by the people, and for the people."
