Yves-Ryan LIbrary (Montréal-Nord) in collaboration with LAAT and Architecture Microclimat
The mobile microlibrary
July 24, 2016, is the start date for a new activity in Montréal-Nord parks, provided free of charge to young and older. The microlibrary offers a selection of books on architecture, geometry, urban design, and built landscapes that can be browsed and read freely onsite.
The Bibliothèque Yves-Ryan, in collaboration with LAAT and Microclimat, has created a microsite for discoveries by residents. Follow the collection, identifiable by the small blue canopy, which will be on the move throughout July and August in the many green spaces all over the borough.
