Five Annapolis Valley Libraries Closing

Five Annapolis Valley libraries in Nova Scotia are closing permanently on June 20th due to severe funding cuts from the provincial government, despite local towns contributing extra money. With a $1 million shortfall and no provincial support expected, the regional library system can’t sustain all 11 branches. The closures affect Hantsport, Kentville, Lawrencetown, Middleton, and Port Williams — communities already hit hard by budget cuts. While the system aims to redirect resources to fewer, more viable locations, critics call the closures devastating, saying small towns are bearing the brunt of provincial decisions. The goal? To keep the library alive and serving the public — even if it means fewer doors for now. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
