The La Petite-Patrie library building, featuring art deco architecture, was built in 1931. It was originally intended to house a theatre, a police station and a fire station. Today, the library shares the same address as the Maison de la Culture (arts centre).

Description

Space

The Maison de la culture de Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie is located on the ground floor of the building. 

The youth section of the library is on the first floor and the adult section is on the second floor. You can use the central staircase or the elevator to move between the different sections.

On the wall of the stairwell connecting the youth section to the adult section, you can admire a mural completed in December 2022 by local artist Thaïla Khampo
