Bibliothèque d'Ahuntsic

Friendly staff. Lovely displays in the cultural center.
Unfortunately quite small for the traffic it gets.

Very nice library, with a good variety of books and a great staff. I would appreciate more books in English though.

Very nice public library that just got a recent makeover. The result is a very welcoming space with gorgeous light. Both the borrowing and the return systems are now automatic.

Wide variety of books, novels, comics, manga, movies, music...
The study/work spaces are limited but there are always some places left, with access to a power outlet to plus in your computer charger.

If you ever need something however, maybe due to all the recent changes, you can be asked to wait for quite a bit. I had to wait for 15-20 minutes to signal a missing book and saw a line-up at the technician desk on my following two visits. There might be an adjustment period for a few weeks/months.

I had a Pleasant experience in this bibliothèque. Staff are friendly and the process is agreable. They have books, music cd, DVDs and console games. You can access the internet for free for 15 minutes and can use the printer for 25 cents and photocopier for 15 cents.
