The North-West Regional Library (NWRL) in Swan River has been closed to the public due to flooding.
NWRL Head Librarian Kathy Sterma says that the flooding was caused by a plumbing issue in the staff washroom.
"We're still in the midst of clean-up and that," she adds.
Sterma went on to say that, at this time, there isn't a target date for when the repairs will start because they're still waiting for the damages to be assessed.
Although most of the library is inaccessible to the public, the library is still open for curbside pick-up and front-counter service Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Curbside pick-up and drop-off requests can be made by calling 204-734-3880 or emailing This email address is being protected from spambots.

According to Sterma, the library's drop box is closed, since it's located in the flooded portion of the library.
Anyone unable to make it to the library during the hours mentioned above can make alternate arrangements by calling or emailing the library.
Fines for overdue books will be waived until the library is reopened to the public.
Sterma says that updates on the current status of the library will be posted to the North-West Regional Library Facebook page.
