The Guelph Public Library in Ontario has received a significant donation from children’s author Robert Munsch, who is giving his personal archives for research and display. The collection, which features original drafts, fan letters, and photographs, will be housed in the new central library set to open in 2026, with public access beginning in 2027. Munsch, a long-time Guelph resident, is known for over 75 popular picture books, including The Paper Bag Princess and Love You Forever. Library officials emphasize the importance of preserving Munsch’s legacy as a vital part of the city’s history.
