Atwater Library and Computer Centre

The Atwater Library and Computer Centre is closed on Monday, May 20, 2013 for Victoria Day/Journée nationale des patriotes. We're open on Saturday and Tuesday as usual.

With much volunteer help and donations, our Library grounds have been beautified over the years. By the Tupper Street entrance, our glorious magnolia tree is now in full bloom, ringed by lovely tulips donated by the City of Westmount. The magnolia tree was planted by former president Andrea Rutherford Burgess and her daughter Lynn Burgess.

The 173rd Annual General Meeting of the Atwater Library and Computer Centre takes place on Tuesday, May 28, 2013 at 6:00 pm in the Library's reading room. The purpose of the meeting is to receive reports, elect the board of directors, approve officers and appoint the auditor for the coming year. Refreshments will be served. Please join us. RSVP: tmayhew@atwaterlibrary.ca or 514-935-7344 (ask to speak to Tanya).

The Atwater Library is partnering with the Alzheimer Society of Montreal to provide a monthly Alzheimer Café for Montrealers in the Library's elegant Reading Room. At each session there is socializing, refreshments, live music, and talks about aspects of life with dementia.

Admission is free and everyone is welcome. For more information, contact Beth Symansky at 514-935-7344.
