The latest public facility to become off-limits during the 2010 Olympic is the Whistler Public Library. The $15 million public facility will be closed from January 30 to March 8, 2010 (a total of five weeks) to accommodate Olympics VIPs and to become a temporary bar.

The library will be used as a hosting facility for the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW), the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC), the Government of BC, and the Government of Canada.

Like the mythical phoenix, "the Whistler Public Library will be reborn as Whistler Canada Olympic House during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games."
