I don't know what the negative reviews here are all about but this, along with Stewart Hall Library…read morewere the libraries of my childhood all the way into university so I have warm, fuzzy feelings about this place. This was my old neighborhood so I had this library, the Pointe-Claire pool and Terra Cotta Park (which was much wilder and more fun then when it still had a running stream) to grow up with. Thanks to the grace of this library, I discovered everything while growing up. The young adults selection of books were great particularly in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Because of that, I still have a soft spot for Dell Yearling paperbacks from that era, with writers like Judy Blume (of course!), Patricia Reilly Giff, Ellen Conford, Constance C. Greene , C. S Lewis, Lloyd Alexander, Alan Garner, Jonathan Bellairs, and dozens of other writers and hundreds of titles I can't remember right now. As a preteen, they used to carry vinyl records here before the advent of CD's and it was thanks to this library that I was able to access the entire record catalog of gateway bands like The Smiths, Depeche Mode, Love and Rockets and R.E.M when they were considered alternative and underground and very hard to come by. You have to remember this was long before the internet and getting access to that music was next to impossible unless you stayed up late to listen to CBC Radio's Brave New Waves with Brent Bambury or New Music Foundation on Monday nights on CHOM FM with Benoit Dufresne and Claude Rajotte. This kicked off a love of alternative, post-punk British New Wave music which has still stayed with me. I don't know if they still have little after-school craft workshops for little kids, but they did in my time. I also remember that their water fountain ALWAYS had unusually cold water and the woods behind the library had a few paths which would take you down to the shops. In the springtime, these woods were covered with trillium flowers. I don't know if this is still the case but during the 1990s, this was the highest-per-capita use library in Canada among municipal and public libraries, which should tell you something about the collection here.

Hey! It's a library! Full of books and people that are reading or sleeping or being hushed after…read moretalking too loud. Isn't it what a library should be like? I say yes. It's old, packed with books and tables and chairs, some more comfy than others and actual living plants everywhere there's a window. I arrived here around 4pm on a Tuesday (2016 elections, this might be my very last review before Trump or Hillary wins!?!) and kids were all over having fun and talking loudly. I asked if there was a quieter area and the man directed me to a peaceful oasis which is the reference room. I read another review which was a little negative but I honestly don't get it. This place is wonderful. BTW, you need a password to go on their free wifi. This library is right next door to the pool and arena and Terra Cotta park! What a great area!

My visit to this library was during the Covid-19 period when my library card expired…read more I wasn't really interested in borrowing physical books but because I recently got a Kobo eReader and libraries which are part of Montreal (such as Bibliotheque du Boise) offer the ability to download certain ebooks via the Overdrive platform. Montreal libraries had the possibility of borrowing ebooks and without renewing my library card, I was able to borrow ebooks for a certain number of months and then go through this same process again but I decided to just visit the library to renew my library card. I verified that the library was open and went there to renew my library card. Upon entering, there was a security guard at the door who asked me whether I was picking up books and I informed her that I was showing up to renew my library card. I used the hand sanitizer which was there and waited to be served by one of the library workers. Once she was ready, I gave my driver's license (showing proof of address residency) and my old library card and within a few minutes, she provided me with a new library card. When I got home, I was able to borrow Overdrive ebooks from the libraries part of the Montreal network's website: https://bibliomontreal.overdrive.com/

I really appreciate the staff sensitivity to students during the exam period. There was a creepy rude old man that would answer his cell phone (that was not on silent) and ask me to do write letters for me while I was studying. I told the staff and he actually complaint about me. (Insisting that I disrespected him. ) The staff was made aware and they offered me a private room to study but I wished people that felt a need to talk on the cellphones would go to a coffee place where people don't need silence to study.

When it reopens I plan to do some work there and there's always a lot of space between people so it won't be too hard to make sure you are social distancing while feeding your brain with books and wifi.

I am very disappointed. I grew up in Lachine and from my youth, Saul Bellow was my second home…read more However the experience that I had today disappointed me greatly. We were " expulsé" from that dusty place for no absolute reason. How is this possible, you may ask? Well we are still in great shock. So basically my friends and I were speaking with an average tone when other people around us were much louder than us but the damn security guard comes up and tells us "vous faites semblant de faire vos devoirs" when we were actually sitting and reading. There are crazy people in this world! I do not recommend this library. You're better off at l'Octogone in LaSalle.

I love writing my exams here as they have private rooms and free wifi too. The library is super quiet and chill. Very little noise. The most amazing part for me was the reading areas. One had couches and the second sitting area had leather bonded couches and fireplaces. You could take your pick of magazines to read as well. The cost of a membership is high if you live outside the area but worth it if you are a heavy bookworm. Check it out I loved the art displays and the architecture!

Today we went to Librairie Clio for the first time. It was the last day of their Book Fair event…read moreand it was also Story Time with Curious George. I have a 14 month old who LOVES Curious George so we were very excited to be go. Of course, my Son slept through the whole thing but I LOVED it. There were quite a few parents there who were also enjoying story time just as much as their children were. The staff were very polite and helpful. We purchased two books for my Stepson and it was less than $20. The inside of the bookshop is very cozy, clean and inviting. They had great sale prices for the book fair and a really great section full of cards and tote bags. I will definitely be going back and I will be keeping my eyes open for future events for little ones.

Beautiful independent bookstore at a small mall…read more Its collection is up to date and I saw many that were published in the last year. All the books are in pristine collection and well organized. There is a children's section as well, with small kids toys, as well as a section advertising Klutz books for youth. Stationary, bookmarks and notepads are available too. I purchased three books and they gave me a thin cotton tote for free because I spent over $60. Great atmosphere and perfect for this location. The only thing lacking are chairs to sit on for browsing.
