Visited this library - Bibliothèque Raymond-Levésque recently as I read about it in an Architecture…read morejournal. It is a stunning building, very well designed using eco-friendly methods such as sustainable materials and even a green roof! The timber panels really create a Scandinavian feel so you almost feel as if you are somewhere else. Inside there is a lot of exposed concrete which really juxtaposes with the timber yet compliments it at the same time. It is a very tranquil environment inside, full of students studying whilst being bathed in natural light flooding in from every angle through the glass walls. I could sit there for hours! Definitely worth a visit if you are an Architecture fan!

This wonderful library truly carried me through both college and university, and it holds a very…read morespecial place for me. It became my reliable space for studying, reading, and finding focus during long days and late afternoons. There is genuinely something for everyone here, as the library is very spacious and offers an impressive variety of resources for all ages and interests. With four floors dedicated to different needs, including music, children's areas, extensive book collections, and quiet study rooms, it is easy to find the perfect environment depending on your mood or purpose. The sunlight throughout the building creates a bright, peaceful atmosphere that makes spending hours there feel comfortable. One of the things I love most about this library is that despite how popular and busy it can be, it remains incredibly quiet. People are respectful, and there is a shared sense of consideration that makes it an ideal place to concentrate. My favorite study area includes comfortable cushioned chairs and large tables that give you plenty of space to spread out and truly settle in for long study sessions. The library also feels thoughtfully designed to encourage productivity and comfort, with clean, well maintained spaces and a welcoming layout that never feels overwhelming. Having a coffee inside the library is the perfect touch, allowing you to enjoy a coffee or drink while reading or studying if you feel like it. Overall, this library is a true gem and a space I will always appreciate for its calm energy, excellent resources, and supportive environment.

I don't usually go to the Concordia library because: -It's always crowded -The wifi is very unreliable -You can't easily plug in your electronics from all areas of the library -The private study areas at the MB building are nicer But despite that, it's a very beautiful library. Very modern and clean (except during midterms and finals) Sometimes I have long breaks in between classes so I take a seat and wait it out. I love the fact that it's open all the time but I think security should tighten up a bit because we often have non-students loitering around. Also, never forget the UdeM vs Concordia Library fight of 2016.

The ceiling and the stained glass are super attractive and artistic, I love them! The library itself is not really big but it's simple and chic. They are planning to expand the site and build a more modernized pavilion that connects to the old building, it will be made of panoramic glass windows and it will be really bright and nice! I look forward to see that!

The wifi in McLennan for non-students is quite wack (and possibly hacked) but aside from that I just adore this library.

There's an ample supply of books for adults, teens and children in both english and french. In more recent years, they've expanded their collection of movies, music and video games which can all be borrowed free of charge. One of my favorite features is that you can make a suggestion for a book if the library doesn't have it, they'll put it on their next order list. An author I adore was coming out with a new novel and instead of rushing out to the bookstore, I knew I could rely on my public library to have it in stock when it came out. In the past, there used to be a small fee for reserving books but that has now been lifted. You can borrow books for 21 days and even extend that time if no one else reserved it. All that done with a click of a button from your online account, accessible from home. Like all libraries, they have great staff on hand to help you with your search or for suggestions. There are many activities for children, particularly during summer, book clubs, seminars on job hunting like writing CVs, to parenting tips or homework help. There are designated areas to study and read peacefully, or rooms you can book for group projects. Many computers and printing services available and free wifi throughout. It's a beautiful, modern looking building with recent technologies and a wealth of information to surpass the average person. Although the library may be inhabited by many students, I encourage anyone and everyone to take a look, get back into reading - discover something new. Best of all, it's free.
