From March 25 to April 21, 2024, the Whitehorse Public Library will be closed to the public for carpet installation.
The carpet in the library is old and torn in spots and is due for replacement. While there never is an ideal time to close the library for building maintenance, the dates were specifically chosen to minimize disruptions. The closure will come after the coldest months of winter have passed and spring break has ended.
During the closure, in-person services, like use of the meeting room, loans of physical library materials, programming and community book requests will not be available. Online resources, like e-books, research materials, movies, TV shows, music and audiobooks, will still be available and library staff can be reached by phone and email to assist.
Libraries are vital to our communities – we recognize this is a disruption for many Yukoners. Libraries are a safe space for everyone and this includes the physical space where patrons use the many services offered. We look forward to welcoming people back into the library just as soon as this necessary work is complete.
