AVRL has received confirmation that there has been no increase to sustainable library funding for 2026-27. Funding has been maintained at the 2020-2025 levels.

We are waiting for municipal budget decisions to be made in the next several weeks. After that, the AVRL Board will have the information it needs to make decisions about service changes.

Please continue to reach out to your elected representatives and share your reaction to their decision.

Did you know that the Annapolis Valley Regional Library is facing a critical budget shortfall in 2026?

Our community survey in 2025 told us that you love your library, and you want service to grow.

But there is a problem.

Inflation has increased 43% since 2009, and the Library’s sustainable funding has only increased 10%.

This will mean service reductions including fewer hours, fewer books, and even branch closures.

You can help by asking your MLA to advocate for the sustainable funding needed to maintain or even grow library service. With sustainable funding, libraries will remain essential community hubs.
