Reviews of Maison de la Littérature library (Museum)

练飘飘

(Translated) Place conducive to reading in peace. It's in an old church. As soon as I started reading, I felt like I was entering a state of spiritual grace....hehe. But my book was a Laferrière, so I said to myself: "Come back to earth, old man." I will surely go back there. (Original) 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.

Lyn Rasmussen

(Translated) A superb library where you can find a little peace in the hubbub that there can be in Old Quebec. A well transformed church which may lead one to believe that reading can be a religion. (Original) Une superbe bibliothèque où l'on peut trouver un peu de tranquillité dans le brouhaha qu'il peut y avoir dans le Vieux-Québec. Une église bien transformée qui peut laisser croire que la lecture peut être une religion.

Simon Durocher

Very interesting place

Sheida Kernc

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!

Scott Keele

Gorgeous place, a must stop for any architecture fans. The church was converted into a public library in 2015. It’s a calm an quiet place to take a moment during your trip in the city.

MISS KAKAHUETTOU

(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.

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.

(Translated) Superb safeguard of the architecture of Quebec. In the middle of the Carnival I was surprised to see that there were no tourists. Extremely quiet ... it's almost embarrassing to visit. The puzzle corner at the top is awesome. Worth a visit, discover this library. (Original) Superbe sauvegarde de l'architecture de Québec. En plein Carnaval j'ai été étonnée de voir qu'il n'y avait pas de touristes. Extrêmement tranquille... c'est presque gênant de visiter. Le coin casse-tête tout en haut est génial. Vaut le détour, allez découvrir cette bibliothèque.

Jennifer Luong

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.

Philip Morgan

(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.

Beautiful French language library in the Old City

Beautiful library in the Old City. Interesting architecture. I thoroughly enjoyed the facility even if the books seemed to be mainly in French. Was still a nice historical landmark to visit and see.

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.

Daniel Pelletier

(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 !
