Whitehorse Public Library reopens to the public

Published 22/04/2024

The Whitehorse Public Library is pleased to reopen its doors today to the public after a one-month closure for carpet installation.

The closure, which began March 25, was necessary to replace and upgrade the carpet. The new installation will create a safer, more inviting library space for library patrons.

The reopening of the library means a return to in-person services such as use of the meeting room, loans of physical library materials and programming. Everyone is thanked for their patience this past month.

Quick facts

  • The one-month closure of the library included the take-down and set-up of the physical materials, shelving, desks and computers.

  • Yukon Public Libraries operate 15 libraries across the territory.

  • For inquiries about library materials or resources library staff can be reached by emailing [email protected] or calling 867-667-8062.
