2/24/2020 August Newsletter https://ola.informz.ca/informzdataservice/onlineversion/pub/bWFpbGluZ0luc3RhbmNlSWQ9NzA5MDM1 2/7 OLA Welcomes The Partnership OLA welcomed the leadership from The Partnership, Canada's provincial and territorial library associations this week. Collaboratively, The Partnership develops a number of services and programs that are made available to our respective associations across the country. These include the Education Institute, The Partnership Job Board, The Continuing Education Certificate, and The Partnership Journal. We also welcomed members of the Canadian Federation of Library Associations/Fédération canadienne des associations de bibliothèques (CFLA- FCAB) board to get an update on their initiatives. While there is significant membership overlap between The Partnership and CFLA-FCAB (and OLA is a member of both), both organizations have very different purposes. The Partnership meets to develop programs and services while CFLA-FCAB focusses on national and international advocacy and policy development. Donate to the Festival Fund Today Now that the school year is about to start, consider giving the gift of reading to those in need. While there are over 250,000 participants in the Forest of Reading annually, we need your help to foster a love of reading to those who need it the most - Indigenous, at-risk and rural communities.
