🐰 Reminder of Library Holiday Closures. The library will be closed Friday April 18, Sunday April 20 and Monday April 21 for the Easter Holdiay. Branches will be open on Saturday April 19 as usual, and regular hours will return on Tuesday April 22.
 | For all of April OPL will be offering free, unlimited access to Valid by Chris Bergeron in both eBook and audiobook format as part of One eRead Canada. Clients can read or listen through the library website, Libby, Cantook, and CloudLibrary—with no holds or waitlists all month long! Set in a disturbingly transfigured Montreal in the year 2050, Valid is an ambitious work that is as much philosophical as it is confessional. |
