About Us

We are a non-partisan coalition of citizens of Brownsburg-Chatham, who have at heart the fate of our library and our architectural heritage. We believe that the library should be relocated to a bigger house, better equipped and be endowed with sufficient human resources to meet the needs of the population. The Roussell house (Principale/des Érables) is one of the last heritage building of interest to be located downtown.

The coalition has acknowledged the lack of support among the population for the relocalisation of the library in the Russell house. We now consider them as two separate files.

Luc Bélisle, Hélène Boivin, Michel Brisson, Jean Careau, Gilles Desforges, Cynthia Dubé, Anik Ferland, Pierre Gagnon, François Jobin, Sophie LaRoche, Diane Leduc, Mylène Mondou, Gilbert Poupart, Maurice Rochon, Claire Thivierge, Kathleen Wilson.

Located in a former post office,  the Coaticook library has 680 square meters and occupies 2 1 / 2 floors. It offers its citizens a collection of over 40,000 documents. The staff team includes a professional librarian in charge of management, a full time library technician , two  part time loan officers, and a contract employee in animation.

In order to compare apples with apples, here are the 2006 figures (Statistics Canada) for the population:

Coaticook:                  9204 - 680 square meters

Chatham-Brownsbrg: 6664 - 138 square meters
