BACKGROUND INFORMATION

  • The Bibliothèque Lennoxville Library is a non-profit lending library that has been in existence since 1912.  The library occupies the former post office on the corner of College and Queen.  This building is owned and maintained by the Ville de Sherbrooke.  Our operating budget is composed of a grant from the Town of Lennoxville, donations and fund-raising.  Many volunteers help the librarian and assistant to keep the library running smoothly.
     

 

MEMBERSHIP

  • Membership is free for residents of Sherbrooke (all Boroughs).
  • Non-Resident's membership - $20.00
  • Group rate (for example a school class) available on request.


     


COLLECTIONS

  • We are a subscription library with over 15,000 volumes, providing Sherbrooke and area residents with an excellent selection of English and French books for all ages.
  • Our collection includes large print books and audio books.  There is a limited selection of old films on video for the hearing impaired.
  • A new collection is being started called "Easy-Reads".  This new series will consist of multi-level reading books, both fiction and non-fiction, that can engage both young adults and more mature readers.  "Easy-Read" books are ideal for adults who are new to reading, are learning to read English, have lost the reading habit, or who prefer a quick read.
