Millennium Library reopening Monday with security measures
The Millennium Library is reopening on Monday after the homicide of Tyree Cayer, 28, left staff traumatized and afraid to go back to their jobs.
“There will be a controlled entrance into the library, with stanchions, a walk-through metal detector, and an increased security presence,” the city said in a release. The city says two Winnipeg police officers will also be on-site during the library’s operating hours along with four extra security guards.
“Millennium Library is an important community facility that draws people downtown to discover, learn, create, and connect,” said Mayor Scott Gillingham. There will also be two Community Safety Hosts instead of one, who are trained in safety strategies and trauma-informed approaches.
