The Millennium Library was more Monday than a building full of books for Travis Flitt.
It was a refuge, a place to reconnect with family and an access point to services. Flitt, who is homeless and doesn’t have regular internet access, was sending emails and messages on Facebook to family and friends on a library computer. It actually feels awesome, said Flitt. Somewhere to go during the day to relax and do whatever.
Winnipeg public libraries reopened for in-person browsing Monday for the first time since October, amid a recent provincewide easing of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
