Located close to services on the main street of the Ville (centre-town sector), Samuel-Ouimet Library is open 47 hours a week and welcomes groups of primary school children.
With the addition of services such as newspapers and magazines, a significant increase in the number of clients has been noted, with readers spending more time in the library.
Boasting stunning views of the river, the periodicals and newspapers reading room has comfortable armchairs with which to welcome its guests.
The activities area for the very young is an important place in the library. Fully carpeted, with stepped furnishings, it can accommodate 30 children. The space, bright with the light from its large windows, invites the young to read alone or as part of a group and is the setting for the story hour.
