Story hour is an activity offered to preschool age children.  Offer your child the most precious gift: the love of books and reading.

This activity is held on Friday April 11 & 25, May 9 & 23 and June 6 2008 - at Carrefour Notre-Dame

 Summer 2008 Theme is : Lire aux larmes. Registrations will be held from June 16 to 27 (regular opening hours). A gift will be given to the first 100 participants registered.

Every summer, the library invites children aged from 2-14 years to participate in the summer Reading Club.  This activity has the goal of enticing children to read during the summer, even though they have a break from obligatory reading, and to develop a taste for and habit of reading. Over the summer, children keep reading notebook, in which they write down all the books that they read.  Depending on the category that the children sign up for, for every 5-10 books read, they receive a coupon for a draw with different participation prizes.  A party at the end of the summer closes the activity.

 Are you passionate about books? Would you love to have a chance to share and exchange about your reading? The Reading Club was created last spring to bring together adults who want to share their literary passions. It is still possible to join this group and people interested in attending these meetings are requested to speak to the library staff. The first monthly meeting of winter 2008 will take place on Wednesday April 16 & May 21 2008., from 1:30 to 4:30. For more information, call 514-453-0013.
