flag Canada Post keeps shipping library books despite proposed rate changes that threaten access.

flag Canada Post will continue its library shipping program despite Bill C-15 proposing to end discounted rates for interlibrary materials, a move critics say risks long-term access. flag The program, covering about 90% of eligible shipping costs, is vital for rural and remote libraries, with nearly 214,000 items shipped last year in Newfoundland and Labrador alone. flag While Canada Post maintains its commitment, advocates warn that removing legal protections could allow future rate hikes, threatening affordability and equity in access to books and resources. flag They urge legislative safeguards to ensure the program’s stability.
