Kitchener Public Library has launched a new fundraising initiative to support Indigenous and racialized library staff through an Access to Education Fund. The new fund, supported in partnership by the Waterloo Region Community Foundation, will directly support a bursary created to reduce financial barriers for Indigenous and racialized Kitchener Public Library staff pursuing graduate-level education in Library and/or Information Science, the standard education requirement for professional librarian roles across Canada.

If you would like to learn more about the Kitchener Public Library Access to Education Fund, please contact WRCF at 519-725-1806 or info@wrcf.ca.
