For immediate release:
EDMONTON, AB, March 4, 2016 – The Mill Woods branch of the Edmonton Public Library (EPL) will reopen Monday, March 7 at 10 a.m.
As a result of issues with lighting fixtures that fell, EPL temporarily closed the branch on Wednesday, March 2. This closure was a precaution to ensure the safety of customers and staff while work crews assessed the situation.
Effective Friday, March 4, library returns are once again being accepted in the book drop on the north side of the facility.
We have extended expiry dates of current holds and due dates at Mill Woods to next week. Customers can check their online accounts for information regarding their holds.
