Collection locations
The Gift of Reading program is carried out in partnership with Archambault, Quebec Public Library Association, Quebec Booksellers Association, Buropro Citation, Coopsco, Les libraires and Renaud-Bray.
To assist in passing on the pleasure of reading to a child, you have several choices!
