## Description

Ontario Library Service (OLS) is an Ontario-based organization established in 2021 to deliver programs and services on behalf of the Ontario Minister of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries. Its work focuses on strengthening public libraries across the province through practical support, professional learning, shared resources, and services for First Nation public libraries.

OLS offers consulting and training on library operations, governance, policies, strategic planning, and community partnerships. Its resources include sample policies, governance guides, succession-planning tools, and the Valuing Ontario Libraries Toolkit. For library staff and leaders, programs include EXCEL, a self-paced online adult education certificate, and the Advancing Public Library Leadership Institute, a two-year program for public library CEOs and managers.

The organization also supports interlibrary loan, e-collections, collective purchasing, and the Joint Automation Server Initiative, which provides access to a shared integrated library system. Through its First Nations Library Service, OLS assists First Nation librarians with programs, consulting, and training to establish and maintain public libraries.
