Don’t miss the many outings by the libraries’ staff to parks and to the Festival de littérature jeunesse de Montréal.

The warm summer days are a great opportunity to go out and meet the young people and families of Lachine. If you would like to take part in an activity, don’t miss out on these many events.

Festival de littérature jeunesse de Montréal 

Lachine’s libraries will have their own booth with children’s furniture, so you can craft, play bingo or simply read comics on site. For the occasion, popular Québec and foreign comics will be available, such as L’Agent Jean, L’Univers est un ninja, Léon, L’année où je suis devenu ado, Snapdragon, and more. No need to wait your turn to be able to borrow these comics from the library, as they have been purchased especially for the Festival.

This will also be a good chance to find out more about activities and membership at Montréal libraries.
