Les bibliothèques de quartier relèvent la tête
Gabriel Béland
La Presse

Le déclin de la lecture, l'apparition du livre électronique et la construction de la Grande Bibliothèque faisaient craindre le pire. Certains prédisaient le déclin des bibliothèques de quartier. Mais les dernières statistiques prouvent le contraire: elles se portent mieux. Et si la Grande Bibliothèque leur avait montré la voie?

Stop the Meter On Your Internet Use!

The CRTC just made a decision that paves the way for new internet fees to be added to your bill. To stop this we need to raise our voices now more than ever.

This means Internet prices are on the rise for everyone: me, you, and your local libraries who already try to provide Internet access to those who can't afford it at home.

Si vous êtes aussi frustrée que moi, prenez quelques secondes pour remplir la pétition contre cette décision en ligne! J'ai aussi pris le temps de le partager sur mon compte Facebook.
Don't complain while making dinner, speak up!
