Please settle this contract, PTB!!!!! The Grand Bib is like food, water…oxygen! to me. There is also a great new exhibition : “Plongez dans l’exposition «Vues du fleuve»
BAnQ et Loto-Québec s’unissent pour présenter l’exposition Vues du fleuve, un parcours illustré et sonore sur le fleuve Saint-Laurent. Portée par le duo mère-fille Manon Barbeau et Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette, Vues du fleuve présente 36 estampes ainsi qu’un dialogue original, intime et émouvant écrit et narré par les créatrices.” – https://www.banq.qc.ca/exposition-vues-du-fleuve/

Thank you, Margaret.
The library used to put up occasionally interesting exhibits in the gallery below street level, but the last I heard, they were forced to discontinue them because of budget cuts. It looks like this one is in a different location.

Yes, it is on the 2nd floor, along the windowed corridor behind Services Quebec. It is in a space I wasn’t familiar with and it has great light for just this sort of thing. The soundscape is done with devices reminiscent of the “cone of silence” used by Max Smart and The Chief on ‘Get Smart’. Very effective! And well worth a visit. I was glad to see the GBib was offering warm shelter and hot drinks to those in need yesterday.
