CHILDREN’S ACTIVITIES

Join us every Saturday through mid-October at our ESPACE BIBLIO @ Square Queen for a variety of Kids activities.

Activities will be held at the Library in case of rain.

Our goal is to create a space where youth can express themselves– read, play and learn. All activities are free and open to everyone. We look forward to seeing you there!

Stop in to read, play and connect any time.

FAMILY BOOK CLUB (in English)

Every month, September through May

Next Meeting: Wednesday, September 25th, 6:30-8:00pm, Salle Amédée-Beaudoin

Kids and parents are invited to come join a fun and informal meetup that is geared to spark excitement about books and reading. There will be games and activities, and participants will be invited to share what they’ve been reading recently.

Every other month, kids and parents are invited to read a selected work of middle grade fiction together, and then gather at the library to talk about it as a group, and dig deeper into the story and share insights and ideas.
