Citizens of Steinbach will benefit from an expansion of the Jake Epp Library, supported through the investment of $600,000 in provincial funding, Premier Greg Selinger announced here today.
“Libraries offer opportunities for people to learn, develop and grow,” said Selinger. “We are pleased to help Steinbach promote sustainable communities by supporting projects such as this.”
The Steinbach library expansion plan includes doubling the square footage to just over 18,000 square feet.
The expanded library will include a large multi-purpose room that can be used by the public or as extension of the children’s area, as well as new reading and display areas, new technical support services, additional washrooms and enlarged stack areas.
The announcement is part of a $16.5-million funding commitment under the Building Manitoba Fund for recreation facilities in rural and northern Manitoba.
