Atwater Library and Computer Centre

Our Annual Benefit Cocktail Party was a tremendous success and raised funds that are a vital component of our lean budget for operations and programs. Held on November 1 in our own building, the gala evening featured live music by the Dave Turner Jazz Trio, an online auction and an exhibition of art by GIGOT aka Mary Hughson. We are grateful to our generous sponsors and donors as well as all who purchased tickets.

Guest of Honour Scott Jones gave an inspirational speech about the important role our organization has played in the development of Montreal over the course of 195 years since our founding as a mechanics’ institute. He also made a rousing call for community support!

Terry Mosher aka Aislin served as emcee and our President, Bruce Bolton, paid tribute to Scott Jones.

Our volunteer-run Bookshop is open FOUR days a week – Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday – from 12 noon to 3:00 pm. We’re selling donated books, DVDs and CDs at bargain prices.

The Bookshop is located in the sous-sol near our Tupper Street entrances.

We welcome donations of books in good condition and ask donors to use our Tupper Street accessible entrance for deliveries.

We’re thrilled to have an exhibition of prints by GIGOT aka Mary Hughson on our top-floor mezzanine from now until the end of the year.

Everyone is welcome to visit the exhibition during our public hours.

Our mission is to build a strong, sustainable and cohesive community through cultural, educational and social programs and by bringing together the diverse population of the Montreal region and Quebec more widely.

We welcome everyone, regardless of their place of residence.

We’re independent and depend heavily on volunteers and private donors for our vitality.

Come visit our computer centre, library stacks and reading room during our public hours.

Mask wearing is not compulsory but is encouraged.

Our schedule of events is in the column on the right.
