The temporary closure of the Bernard-Lonergan Library has been extended until July 1 to wrap up the renovation and modernization.
Back in January, the Ville de Gatineau announced improvement projects to the Bernard-Lonergan, Docteur-Jean-Lorrain, and Riviera libraries to facilitate more welcoming and modern spaces.
The Bernard-Lonergan Library was expected to be closed from January 15 to March 31 to upgrade equipment, transforming spaces for young users and families as well as enhanced spaces for reading and studying.
In the meantime, the cultural programming that is usually found in the library will be moved to Manise-Morin Library, which has extended its opening hours to accommodate users.
A temporary service centre will be included in the Buckingham Community Centre and will offer a range of services like the return of documents, picking up reservations, and subscription to the Accès Gatineau card.
