Cultural initiatives of the City of Montréal in the context of Covid-19

The City of Montréal has developed initiatives allowing citizens to access cultural content virtually.

Libraries

  • Simplified access to online resources (remote subscription now possible).
  • Increase in the number of borrowings on the e-book platform from 5 to 10.
  • Monitoring of digital borrowings to increase the number of available copies of the most popular titles.
  • Enhancement of online collections, especially those aimed at young people.
  • Implementation of measures to avoid penalizing users: postponement of return dates, renewal of expired subscriptions, discontinuation of late notices.
