« As is the case for many cultural institutions, the pandemic has had a significant impact on public library attendance. It is now time to reconnect with them and return to visit them! » said Eve Lagacé, Executive Director of the Quebec Public Libraries Association. « Public libraries are present and well rooted in their communities, offering citizens free services adapted to their needs. The Great Contest encourages users to rediscover the richness of local libraries! »

Why visit your public library? 

    • Libraries are lively and inspiring places: we visit them to read, to work, to do crafts, to move, to learn, to try things out. They are lively and dynamic!
    • Libraries offer free services and spaces that are accessible to all: they offer a variety of services without discrimination to meet the population’s needs for information, culture, education and much more.
    • Libraries offer rich and diversified collections: they provide a wide range of documentary resources that reflect the vast scope of human knowledge. Libraries bring their collections to life and promote them in order to make their community discover all their richness and give them a taste for reading and quality information.
