Library Du Boisé

The pros are improved wifi, ease of finding a place to read/study/work, the location and opening hours.
The cons are the parking lot, the bathrooms who are often occupied, the occasional noisy users, and lastly the lack of comfortable chairs for the tables.

J’étais entrain de réviser pour mes examens de mid session donc j’ai réservé une chambre puisque dans ce bibliothèque les agents de sécurité sont là mais ne travailler pas et s’en fout de l’ambiance d’étude. Tout à coup, une employée a ouvert ma porte sans la cogner, puis m’a crie de sortir de là. Cependant ma réservation n’est pas finie encore, il me reste une heure. La madame m’a dit: on fait une erreur, sans me dit un mot d’excuse. Je sens vraiment d’être humiliée.

Inside and out, Montreal’s Bibliothèque du Boisé looks – and feels – radically different from most public libraries.

Its design needed to reflect revolutionary changes in the way we store and consume information. Its location was fragile and unique.it’s a model for sustainable development. And, ultimately, to give back to the multicultural borough of Saint-Laurent.

The weekdays security guards are very disrespectful and aggressive. For days they were harassing me and when I asked for a reason they didn’t want to give me one. After a month of harassment I went to talk to someone in charge and they said they couldn’t do anything. Never going to this library again…

Très belle courtoisie. Très bon service à recommander pour toute le monde étudiants. Adultes. Touristes. Très accessible par transport e commun.

Mon conjoint a communiqué avec une certaine Caroline responsable du coup de pouce informatique afin de prendre r-v. Il lui a laissé son téléphone, son e mail et le moment pour le rejoindre.il n y a eu aucun suivi et donc n a pas réussi avoir l aide demandée. Ce manque de professionnalisme est inexcusable

I really like this library. It is very big, with many books and games you could borrow. Furthermore, the outside and the inside look is very modern. Love it

Une excellente bibliothèque, les livres sont très bons, le personnel est exceptionnel, serviable et compétent.
Monsieur Diogo merci infiniment.

Gérant très professionnel et courtois tout comme le personnel en général à l'exception d'un petit jeune avec un serre-tête.

Mesures barrières respectées,
Excellentes disponibilité du personnel.
Personnel très courtois et très serviable.
Excellent service

Beautiful brand new library all glass windows allowing the sun to shine inside. Great calm study/work environment.

I used to love studying here, surrounded by nature, full glass windows and very bright. Tables are large and have many charger plugs. This place is not the best to concentrate and study. Sometimes during weekends they have local activities or some kind of music festival going on the lower level. You can hear the kids running around, crying and screaming.

Beautiful library, I could spend an entire day here without realizing it. But children do come around often and disturb the peace and quiet.

There is literally the sound of kids screaming and running that can be heard from everywhere in the library. High school kids from next door come and fool around a lot too. Shame.

Theres a panoramic view, which is great.
Usually very crowded, no more place to study and work.

It's a great place with lots of diversity and opportunities for people to learn and create a passion.but it says it is open (June 2 2020) but if you call the library, it says its closed. Its confusing.

La dernière fois que je suis aller la bas il y avait beaucoup de bruit j'enner faite part a l'agent de sécurité mercredi soir il a pus me placé a un autres emplacements et ça la bien été par la suit un grand merci.

A lot of noise inside. I can not study.people specially girl and boys meet each other In the library and the love story begin.discussion laugh etc.

Beautiful library with amazing wood architecture.nice patio in the back for reading outside during the summer.

The place is nice but usually crowded and noisy, that's why sometimes is difficult to find a place to sit or relax while reading a book in a peaceful environment. The business and affairs tiles are not so many. Most of the books are in French.

Unlike other old libraries. It has all sections you need for everyone in the family. Well organised. Staff are super helpful and nice. Panoramic view to the forest and full natural light make the atmosphere more attractive than being in a 4 concrete walls-room with small window. Spending your day reading is fun here.
On the other hand, they have 1 security guard who do understand that kids have their section and sometimes parents can not control noise kids make. The library is an open space so any noise downstairs are can be heard on the second floor. That security guard speak to people as if he is in higher grade than parents. If they really want to limit noise from kids downstairs they should isolate the two floors from each other using transparent glass to keep the same friendly architecture. Once happened with me when I came with my almost 2 years old kid and he was exciting seeing other kids and spacious area. He made some noise after stepping from the front door. The guard on duty jumped asking brutally to keep the child silent. He was not comprehensible and left with arrogance or attitude expression on his face. The library has section for kids and you should understand that you need to accept some noise while parents explain to their kids (with certain age that can be controlled not 2 years old) that they should remain with low noise as possible. The library deserve more than 3 stars but this story made me give 3 with hesitation.

Impossible d'etudié dans cette biblio, le bruit des enfants qui viennent joué soit sur l ordi ou soit sur les cells des parents est insuportable. Aussi vers 3h y a une vague d etudiants du secondaire qui embarque qui font a leur tour bcp de bruit.parle a haute voix et je n ai vu personne leur dire de gardé le silence! Je vous recommande fortement de faire de quoi

Nice library near the park. It is always busy with the youths. Go find a corner spot on 2nd floor if you are looking for somewhere quiet.

Great library, for the people who hear its noisy it's an true fact but if you go at times were students aren't supposed to be there it's quite an perfect place for studying and reading

Amazing building situated in a wooded area, easily accessible. You can get free seeds for your garden. Ideal place to work. They also have a selection of movies, video games, and a lot of activities for kids. BUT the staff is the worse part of the experience by far. They are extremely annoyed when you borrow or return documents, because they would much rather have you use the automatic machines than disturbing them. Even if the attendance is very low. They are borderline rude and couldn't care less about patrons.

This is not a library. You'd be better off going to Chapters to study. This is more of a daycare center. The staff is extremely awkward and borderline rude. Lacking in social skills. Every single person we interacted with was like a robot. From the person who made the library cards to the person who checked us out. As if though they looked for the weirdest most awkward human beings and hired only those ones. I hope to be able to self serve so I don't have to deal with the staff there.

Vraiment brillant de se situer à proximité des écoles afin d’être accessible et d’optimiser les fonds publics

This library has a reputation for being loud but it is because they are doing an exceptional job of welcoming the youth. This library is cultivating a love of books and learning to a whole generation. While other industries such as journalism have faltered with the introduction of the Internet, libraries have somehow made themselves even more relevant. Be thankful youth are in the library rather than out in street.

Security must put attention with High School students and kids. They have to separate them from the adult section of the library. As adults, wcome here to study tough careers and we need focus!

Securité doit faire attention avec les jeunes. Séparer les etudiants de Cegep et enfants de la section adulte. On vient ici pour etudier des carrieres complexe et on a besoin du focus. Svp considerez ce message pour un bon environnement dans la biblioteque! Merci.

An amazing library made completely from wood! Once of my favorite libraries in the city and a truly gorgeous structure. I love the windows that overlook the wooded area in the back and it sets the mood so well. A true beauty

Une belle bibliothèque, toutefois elle n’est pas très fonctionnelle: bruitante, place d’étude manquante et non confortable, mauvaise configuration de bureau, chaise dure et non ergonomique.

C'est vraiment bien, cependant, ils devraient installer ROBLOX et Fortnite dans les ordinateurs
