Indigenous Resources Collection materials for children are housed in Ah kha koo gheesh (Groundhog Place - Children Emerge from Learning) on the first floor. Indigenous Resources Collection materials for adults are found on the second floor in Wii ghoss (Birch Bark Centre).

The Writer-in-Residence is available during the fall and winter months for one-on-one feedback for emerging writers. A Social Worker provides help with finding resources for housing, employment, counseling and more.

History

Centennial Library opened May 4, 1977 to commemorate Winnipeg's centenary, and to replace the Carnegie-funded former main branch at 380 William Avenue (now the City of Winnipeg archives). From 2003-2005, the Centennial Library underwent a complete renovation and extensive addition, reopening as the Millennium Library on November 8, 2005. The Millennium Library is a signature building in downtown Winnipeg. The 160,850 sq. ft. Library has won several architecture awards including the Canadian Architect Award of Excellence in 2004, Prairie Design Award of Merit in 2006 and the Governor General's Medal in Architecture, 2008.
