Kenora City Council is seeking more funding for the Kenora Public Library from the provincial government. The Federation of Ontairo Public Libraries has submitted a funding proposal to the Ministry of Tourism and Culture.
Councillor Rory McMillan says annual grants for libraries haven't increased since 1989.
In the meantime, libraries have been relying increasingly on municipal funding to support their operations.
The proposed funding model would provide a consistant per capita rate plus additional supplements for rural and northern libraries.
