Children’s library may have to close
The Montreal Children’s Library is being evicted by the CSSDM and may have to close for lack of premises.
We had a good comment about this library a couple of years ago. I hadn’t even been aware of it before the CBC chose it that year as its charity.
There’s a certain irony in a supposedly educational “service centre” choosing to eradicate a library, though…

It’s going to be tough finding a location for a library on a 500$/month budget, though…

It should be subsidized, but the articles mention that the library offers services in English too, so I doubt it can be saved.

Lasalle borough is about to open their new Octagone library in the coming months, wonder if that could be a potential home?

Lasalle is very far from the MCL. They are trying to stay in the same area. The next closest library is 3km, per the articles.
