Library Accessibility Committee: Call for Volunteers

We are joining the Government of Nova Scotia and many organizations across the province to make our spaces inclusive and barrier-free. We are looking for individuals of varying abilities to form our Library Accessibility Committee. This committee helps shape our accessibility policies and practices. Together, we can make the library a place for everyone.

Do you identify as:

• Living with a disability

• Being neurodivergent

• Being d/Deaf

• Living with a mental health condition

Or do you work with people with disabilities?

Members will attend 4 online meetings per year for 2 years. This is a paid volunteer position.

If you have lived experience, professional experience, or advocacy experience that you feel would benefit the committee, please apply.

Apply now!
You can submit your application online or in person. The application form consists of questions about your interest in the committee and personal experiences that may inform your participation.

If you have any questions, please email Lisa at access@cbrl.ca. Please visit your local library if you require a printed application form or assistance completing the online application form. Our staff will be happy to help you.

The application deadline is August 31, 2023.
