The Commission permanente sur le développement culturel et la qualité du milieu de vie, consisting mostly of elected members of the party of Montréal Mayor Gérald Tremblay, recommends that the City Executive invest more in its public libraries.
The Bibliothèques publiques de Montréal's Web site for its part offers a serial novel, Mille vies (in French):
Skibbereen, Montréal, Kingston, Vicksburg, Boston and Lowell are some cities that mark the 1000 lives of Molly Galloway . Nurtured by the upheavals of her era, she takes the train of ideas and battles for life and freedom. Her path leads her on the pavement of emerging cities, the railway tracks and trenches of the battlefield.
The story is narrated by a young immigrant traveling through America in the 19th century. During her adventures, Molly, just as her own hero, D'Artagnan and the Count of Monte Cristo, is to get involved in causes and disorders of her era.
The adventure is at the heart of this saga. It depicts major moments in the history of Montréal, Québec, America and the world around 1850.
