(Translated) Very beautiful, like a castle in the sky. ???? There were three floors, another one that was closed today. The daily literary and cultural events were in the theater on the first floor; so there was a bar, and hot drinks that were available automatically. Computers on the highest floor. We love him very much, good documentalists; yet the opening hours are limited. (Original) Très belle, comme un chateau dans le ciel. ???? Il y avait trois étages, un autre qui était fermée aujourd'hui. Les événements littéraires et culturelles quotidiens étaient dans le théâtre sur le première étage ; ainsi y avait un bar, et boissons chaud qui étaient disponibles automatiquement. Les ordinateurs sur le plus haut étage. On l'adore vivement, bons documentalistes ; pourtant les heures d'ouverture sont limitées.

July 2021 a nice library with a relatively good collection of books given it's size. Architecturally beautiful and appears to be reinvented and renovated completely white. Sleek inside interiors. Very quiet as libraries should be.

Serge Lacroix

(Translated) Fantasy! (Original) Фантастика!

Lyn Rasmussen

(Translated) It is actually a public library inside an old church, 40 meters from the MORRIN center and the Saint-Andrews church (rue Ste-Anne) There is not a large selection of books in English, but the building is very modern, apart from the floor, the tables, chairs and shelves are white. (Original) C'est en faite une bibliothèque publique à l'intérieur d'une ancienne église, à 40 mètres du centre MORRIN et de l'église Saint-Andrews (rue Ste-Anne) Il n'y a pas une grande sélection de livres en anglais, mais le bâtiment est très moderne, à part du plancher, les tables, chaises et étagères sont blanches.

(Translated) It is absolute emptiness. An unnecessary place for residents of Old Quebec. To find reading we have to go to other libraries outside the walls. Expensive renovations of an old library that had at least the charms of authenticity and books to read! (Original) C'est le vide absolu. Un endroit inutile pour les résidents du Vieux-Québec. Pour trouver de la lecture nous devons nous rendre dans d'autres bibliothèques hors des murs. Rénovations coûteuses d'une ancienne bibliothèque qui avait au moins les charmes de l'authenticité et des livres à lire !

Simon Durocher

Nicest library in Old Quebec.

Sheida Kernc

I stopped in here in the middle of a downpour and was amazed by the beautiful architecture. The library is built in an old temple. The beautiful large glass windows allow for lots of natural light to enter the library.

Scott Keele

Great use of an older building with various uses... including a jail and a school. Plus, if you have a rogue statue that could offend some people, put it here... take the tour to find out what I’m talking about... and to see where “the body” was found. You’ll see!

Marion Racine

(Translated) Magnificent! (Original) Magnifique!

(Translated) The Sustainable Ephemera artwork The City of Quebec inaugurated on June 12, 2017 the artwork Éphémères durable, installed in front of the Maison de la littérique. The three sculptures forming the lasting Ephemera artwork have a humorous character. (Original) L'œuvre d’art Éphémères Durables La Ville de Québec inaugurait le 12 juin 2017 l’œuvre d’art Éphémères durables, installée devant la Maison de la littérature. Les trois sculptures formant l'oeuvre d'art Éphémères durables possèdent un caractère humoristique.

François Luther

Endroit propice à la lecture dans le calme. C'est dans une ancienne église. Aussitôt que j'ai commencé à lire, j'avais l'impression d'entrer en état de grâce spirituelle....hehe. Mais mon livre était un Laferrière, alors je me suis dit : "Reviens sur terre mon vieux." Je vais sûrement y retourner.

Everything I wanted the disappointing Morin Center to be. Welcoming to everyone, amazing architecture, plenty of bathrooms and even a keurig vending machine?? Open later than most places in QC and there was live music the night I came. I wish I’d discovered this my first day here, thank you for being such a great public resource.

Jessie Anderson
