Using digital technologies responsively with children over the age of three helps prepare them for the future and is important in achieving early literacy goals.
Education Minister Krista Lynn Howell has announced a funding top up of $600,000 for the Provincial Information and Library Resources Board (PILRB), which oversees 94 public libraries. This includes one-time funding of $500,000 to supplement the board’s operating grant, for a total of over $12.8 million in funding for this fiscal year. This will support costs for maintenance, operations and acquiring additional resources such as new hard copy and digital books. Minister Howell says $100,000 will be used to support early years programming to include digital literacy tools. She says digital literacy is an important part of the puzzle when it comes to early learning. Using digital technologies responsively with children over the age of three helps prepare them for the future and is important in achieving early literacy goals.
