But in good news — you can spend time getting lost in rows and rows of books like you used to, expect while wearing a mask this time around.

Communal magazines and newspapers, Accès Montréal cards, and toys and games remain unavailable for the time being, for health reasons.

Not all libraries are opened and specific libraries have their own protocols. Visitors are encouraged to call or look online ahead of visiting a particular location.
