Volunteer Week
April 10th to 16th
Join us for cake and coffee
to honor our volunteers!
We went to the Grande Bibliothque- library in
downtown Montreal for the past 4 months. We
had fun. I learned and found books, DVDs and
comic books to borrow. ~ Armen
The best thing for me at the library was being
able to pick different types of music in different
languages from unusual and unknown artists.
~ Michelle
I took several language labs. I tried Arabic, Can-
tonese, Chinese, and a little English grammar.
~ Kosal
We contact each other through an agenda on e-mail and attend once a
week on Tuesdays. Usually we reserve a room to discuss books or theentertainment materials we borrow. We all go by ourselves by Metro
and meet on the main floor. Everyone is welcome! ~ Mona
