Partnerships for literacy
“The AFN Education Sector promotes efforts and builds partnerships to increase opportunities for literacy for First Nations community members. With this goal in mind, the AFN Education Sector supports the objectives of the National Aboriginal Public Libraries Organization (NAPLO) and encourages First Nations communities to use Our Way Forward and Speak Up to assist in creating and sustaining their own public libraries. The AFN Education Sector also supports the need to advocate for federal funding that is dedicated specifically for ongoing operations of First Nation public libraries. To assist in achieving this goal the Education sector has drafted a letter to Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada to advocate for funding for on-reserve libraries for not only the Ontario region but for all other regions and treaty areas as well.
