Library anticipated to fully resume services in mid-January with additional security measures in place.
Millennium Library will begin a phased service resumption on Friday, December 23 at 10 a.m.
City of Winnipeg officials continue to meet with various stakeholders, including staff, representatives from the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 500, and the Community Working Group, to help determine appropriate changes to create a safer experience for staff and visitors, while still keeping the library accessible and welcoming for all.
The City is also commencing a comprehensive risk assessment and safety audit of Millennium Library, while exploring the layout of the library and a permanent redesign of the lobby that supports a controlled environment without the use of hostile architecture.
