Visitors to Munroe Library will notice a fresh look to the community hub.

On April 27, Mayor Brian Bowman and Coun. Jason Schreyer (Elmwood-East Kildonan) visited the library at 489 London St. to celebrate its re-opening following extensive renovations.

“I am pleased to see that renovations are now complete,” Schreyer said in a news release. “Our local library is prepared more than ever to provide an excellent array of services to our community.”

In addition to new paint and flooring, improvements include a new service desk, new interior book return with improved accessibility, and a larger children’s area. A tutorial room, which visitors can book for studying or small meetings, and a family literacy playground, where children can play with a number of activities that promote fun and learning, have also been added.

The cost of the $220,000 renovation was covered by Winnipeg Public Library’s interior infrastructure capital funding.

“Over the last several years, council has approved significant investments in rebuilding and redeveloping libraries across Winnipeg,” Bowman said in the same release. “The newly updated Munroe Library is now in a position to be a valuable community resource for many years to come.”
