Project Overview

The “Speak Up” project is a major step on the path leading to the realization of the vision for First Nation public libraries set out in the Our Way Forward: A Strategic Plan for Ontario First Nation Public Libraries. The goal of this campaign is to deliver a major public awareness campaign that will:

• promote awareness of the First Nation library as an essential service.
  
• increase use of the libraries in their communities.
  
• increase support for existing First Nation libraries and contribute to the establishment of libraries in First Nation commuinties without this service.
