According to the Biblio Montreal website, those services include, among others:

  • Document loan and return services
  • Access to collections
  • Access to reading and working spaces
  • Access to computer workstations
  • Fee payments
  • Interlibrary loans

Among the services that will not yet resume are the issuing of Access Montreal cards and on-site consultation of newspapers and magazines.

  • Mercier service point
  • Parc-Extension Library
  • Roxboro Library
