New reservation system for the self-service computers
Ville de Laval has started to replace the self-service computers and implement a new booking system in all libraries. It will allow you to reserve a self-service computer on the Internet , from a remote location*.
These replacements will be phased in over the summer. Refer to the table below to find out if your library has it.
New operating layouts are also introduced. For more information, inquire at the library's circulation desk.
*Reservation is not mandatory but has priority over a session without one.
Temporary Closing - Multiculturelle Library
|
Renovations to the main entrance will be carried out during the summer —June 28-mid-October— at the Multiculturelle library, which will be closed while the work is under way. Members of this library are therefore invited to go to one of Laval's eight other public libraries in the meantime.
 |
Please note that Centre Alain-Grandbois is not a library so it's impossible for you to bring it back documents from other libraries.
