Grande Bibliothèque de BAnQ

It was such a calm and reassuring library knowing that people are still reading in this modern technological age of Super computers and lightning fast internet.Plenty of books in case you are wondering- fantastic collection of books for every reader.There is a fast elevator to take you up and down the 4 floors.Saw a lot of staff around and quiet areas where you could work.Computers to for those who need then.It's free to enter so anyone can. Parking is available outside and is metered - what a blessing in Montreal.If you like reading go to this library.

People, brace yourselves if you are bookworms! I lost myself here. Its a calm, warm, clean and spacious library with tons of thousands of books and activities for you to spend afternoons letting yourself be free to work, learn, study in a quiet and beautiful atmosphere. 100% recommended to go, specially if you are visiting Montreal. So worth it.

The most beautiful library in Montreal. I really love the music room on 5th floor. Staff are all friendly and so helpful! Location is also good, connects to the subway(I saw that the parking fee is around $12)

I love this library. It’s really big, beautiful and clean. They have a bistro and a café. You can get a membership card if you reside in Quebec and you can actually borrow anything from the library for free. You can also just come in and read in it for an afternoon. Do some research, study.

The most incredible library! We just wandered the sections and fell in love. It is so cool to see such a large collection of comics and graphic novels, and the music/record room was amazing! Architecturally lovely, it's airy and comfortable and feels inviting

Beautiful library architecturally and inspiring place to work. Tables all over but it gets rather busy so I'd suggest arriving around 9-10am. Comfortable desks too, has a slight angle to it and slight angle footrest too at the base. Airy and light, though can be noisy depending where you sit so bring some headphones. Bright and inspiring.You can borrow video games too!

This is a beautiful space to relax and work. It's open to the general public. To borrow books, you do need to have a card. There are enough working space and computers to work with. You can also have a space for your laptop. It's quiet and I do love the ambiance. There are a wide variety of books to choose from. There are video games which you can borrow as well as magazines and manga. The library has a wide variety of resources for kids and adults and all kinds of academic disciplines. There are elevators and easy to move from one floor to the other.The architecture is surely impressive!

I absolutely love the Grande Bibliothèque de BanQ! This library is truly a gem in the heart of Montreal, offering a vast collection of books, journals, and multimedia resources in a wide variety of languages. The building itself is stunning, with a modern design that is both spacious and inviting.What sets this library apart, however, is its exceptional customer service. The staff members are knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help you find what you're looking for. They also offer a range of programs and events for all ages, including workshops, book clubs, and author readings.Whether you're a student, a researcher, or simply someone who loves to read, the Grande Bibliothèque de BanQ is a must-visit destination. It's the perfect place to spend a quiet afternoon browsing books or to dive deep into research on any topic. I highly recommend this library to anyone looking for a great resource in Montreal!

3rd level is best to find a spot to sit or a table to plug laptop in.

Amazing library. Came here with kids and we were able to find lots of books in French and English. So nice to be able to have a reading break even while on vacation.
