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.

New cuts at the library

Stated in paragraph 10.7 of the minutes of the Board of the Town of Brownsburg-Chatham April 6, 2010, which has just been posted on the city website:


"Public Library: New City Council Directive - Prohibition on proceeding with the purchase of books, journals, periodicals, DVDs, etc. / The provision of such items will come exclusively from the Regional Service Centre for Public Libraries (CRSBPL) Laurentides Inc. ".

Again, the board shows how little importance it attaches to the municipal library. The more we backstep, the longer will be the path of reconstruction. Are we now assisting to a slow death?
