City library temporarily closed for repairs

Munroe Library in northeast Winnipeg is being temporarily shuttered for repairs.

The facility, located at 489 London St., will be closed until mid- to late August to repair damage caused by a burst water pipe above the library’s washroom area, the city said in a release on Friday.

The damage was limited to the washroom and immediate surrounding area. Crews are removing damaged materials and will be replacing the insulation and drywall before painting and cleaning the carpet.

The library completed a $220,000 renovation at the facility in 2022.

Customers who had library materials on hold can pick them up at Henderson Library at 1050 Henderson Hwy. Borrowed items, meanwhile, can be returned to any branch or by using the after-hours return at Munroe Library.
