PTPLC / CPTBP

Provincial and Territorial Public Library Council

Conseil provincial et territorial des bibliotheques

 

Established in 1978, the Provincial/Territorial Public Library Council acts as a forum where provincial and territorial public library agencies share experience, information, skills and resources.  It facilitates the coordination of cross-jurisdictional initiatives and serves as a point of contact with national library organizations and the federal government.  Since 2005, the Council has facilitated the process by which Federal, Provincial and Territorial Ministers responsible for public libraries meet on shared library issues.  The PTPLC is a Director-level body that reports to the adhoc committee of Provincial and Territorial Deputy Ministers responsible for public libraries, which reports to the Provincial and Territorial Ministers responsible for public libraries in each of their jurisdictions.
