We apologize for the inconvenience. Manitoba Courts continue to operate and we are aware that the library is a place where you can conduct business while attending at court. With the city under a code red public health order, we feel that staff are best protected by working from home.
We will reopen the library once Winnipeg returns to a code orange order. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
