July 22, 2005 (9:00 pm ET) The Canadian Library Association welcomes the July 22, 2005 announcement by the Hon. John McCallum, Minister of National Revenue and Minister for Canada Post, that the Library Book Rate (LBR) will continue past the March 31, 2006 expiration of the current agreement between Canada Post and the Department of Canadian Heritage. CLA has prepared a grassroots information package on this issue that will be available on the CLA Web site next week. The July 22, 2005 announcement means the package will have to be revised and updated. The library and information community's efforts are clearly making a difference and we look forward to ensuring the long-term viability of the Library Mail Rate.
