DRAFT RESOLUTION

WHEREAS: No formal channels of articulation exist among the Library

Development Commission and government ministries particularly the Ministry

of Education; and

WUSREAS: The Library Development Commission has failed to describe and
publish to the municipalities and the provincial government the cost
implications of its policies and "program of service"; and ;

WHEREAS: Any organization designed to co-ordinate library services
ought to be responsive to the wishes of the provincial government and to the
needs of the Municipal Government; and

WHEREAS: The Library Development Commission perpetuates inequities in
grant distribution, is not co-operative with library governing authorities and
displays secrecy and rigidity in its planning and budgeting.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Minister of Recreation and
Conservation should review the provincial co-ordination of library services
with a view to either abolishing the Library Development Commission and

incorporating its functions into the Ministry of Recreation or restructuring

the Library Development Commission, to rectify this situation.
