​LA LECTURE EN CADEAU

The program La lecture en cadeau (Reading as a Gift) is aimed at children aged 0 to 12 living in disadvantaged areas in Quebec. Each year, through this program, thousands of children receive new children's books. For some children, this book is often the first new book they receive. As in the past, our library is one of some 400 collection points in Quebec. Come drop a new book in the library collection box to bring joy to the life of a child from a disadvantaged background. Thank you for your generosity !
​
From November 20th to December 19th

SURPRISE BOOKS

Your child can borrow a wrapped up book – a new release – and be the first one to hold the book in their hands to read it.  Choose the book by reading the clues on the wrap and enjoy the surprise!
