The library is expected to open in fall 2026 and the collection will be on display to the public starting in 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eleni Hughes, the supervisor of archives and records management at the library, told CBC News this is a big opportunity for the library.<\/p>\n
\u201cRobert Munsch is a prominent figure in this community, so having the ability to preserve his legacy is very important for us,\u201d Hughes said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s a part of the city’s history.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Guelph Public Library Archives is currently inside the main branch at 100 Norfolk St. Its aim is to \u201cpreserve Guelph\u2019s valuable civic, cultural and personal history,\u201d according to the release.<\/p>\n
Some examples include writings from Guelph\u2019s founder, John Galt, Biltmore Hat factory memorabilia and an engraved piece of wood from the first tree cut in Guelph when it was founded in 1827.<\/p>\n
The new archive space will be housed on the third floor of the central library and will be expanded to include new content, including the Munsch collection.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be exciting for us to think about how we want to display certain items” from Munsch, Hughes said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c[I] hope that it will be a draw for classes and for community members and for members all over to be able to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Guelph Public Library in southern Ontario has just received it is calling an \u201cextraordinary gift\u201d from beloved…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":355832,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2147,50],"class_list":{"0":"post-355831","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-canada","9":"tag-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115493394554856582","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355831"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355831\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355832"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
