Bibliothèque Gabrielle-Roy

Calm, bright, convenient, a bit small.nnVery pleasant experience. Quiet study spots with large windows and a beautiful winter view. It is smaller than expected, but there was enough space during my visit. Parking is available.nnGreat location with stores right in front: IGA, Tim Hortons, Dollarama, and Variété 1$. Fun and practical for a quick stop before or after studying.

Went once to this library and not going back. Workers are loud while reorganizing books constantly, not quiet at all. Hard to focus. And it is a small library too. My go-to is Boisé Library, it is the best, super quiet and huge with amazing views.

Beautiful place to study but I got to say that the people that work there are incredibly rude it’s unbelievable. Once, one of their employees even touched be kind of passive-aggressive only to tell me that they we’re closing in 15 minutes, and when I called her out for touching me, she yelled at me that it was my fault for wearing headphones. Yeah, definitely completely out of place.

This library is smaller than the Bibliothèque Multiculturelle but has easier parking. Out of the multiple Laval libraries, I would rate Yves Thériault and Multiculturelle to be slightly better than this but the standard Laval biblio features like reserving books, picking a wide variety of books for all ages and comfortable access to video games and board games is absolutely super.

I have never been to a louder library. The ladies that work in the front chill and talk as if they were at a party, literally. No silent zones here.
