The Ontario Library Service is committed to supporting the local planning efforts and special projects undertaken by public libraries across the province by providing a variety of resources, ongoing guidance and advice, and facilitation services.
These include:
Facilitation Services
Ontario Library Service consultants are available, to support custom projects on a limited basis, to facilitate planning or other types of customized sessions for a fee for work that falls outside the scope of our normal consulting and training services or programs.
Examples of consulting and training that fall outside of our normal scope include:
Fee Schedule
Population Served | Hourly Fee Schedule |
---|---|
Up to 15,000 | No charge |
15,001 to 50,000 | $25/hr |
50,001 to 100,000 | $75/hr |
100,000+ | $100/hr |
Note: The costs associated with the consultant’s travel to and from the session (rental + gas) are included in the hourly rate.
Availability and access to custom services are not guaranteed to any party and will depend on the timing, reasonable advance notice of intended projects, and overall demands from across the province at any given time. The Ontario Library Service strongly recommends against the submission or request of last-minute support or facilitation, as the regular flow of business will usually not permit the reallocation of staff or resources without sufficient notice, preparation and planning.
