The Western Manitoba Regional Library is offering free library memberships to evacuees of wildfires.
The library posted the offer in its Facebook page on June 5, offering up to three-month memberships.
Speaking at Monday evening’s council meeting, Brandon City Coun. Shaun Cameron (Ward 4) said what the library is doing is great for evacuees.
“It was an initiative of the library to take on to offer temporary library cards and the ability for people to come in and use these services while they’re here, in really, really challenging situations,” said Cameron, who is also a member of the library board.
“You really just want folks to be aware,” he said. “You want them to come to the library, you want them to experience it and sort of experience all of what the city has to offer.”
The library on its Facebook post said all evacuees can get a membership, and all they need is their ID.
“Simply bring your ID and the address of where you are currently staying to any of our branches. This includes Brandon Shoppers Mall, Brandon Public Library, Neepawa, Carberry, Glenboro, and Hartney,” reads part of the Facebook post.
