Since its opening in 1899, Westmount Public Library has served as a beloved community hub, evolving with the times while preserving its Victorian charm. Nestled in Westmount Park, this red-brick library features a picturesque children’s wing and a greenhouse. The library is home to more than 170,000 books, films, and other items, alongside a unique collection of over 40,000 postcards—perfect for deltiology aficionados.
Families will especially love the library’s kid-friendly programming, which includes storytimes, LEGO club, book clubs, and even memoir workshops where kids can learn to craft their own narratives. For visitors looking to unwind, the library offers cozy reading nooks, while the nearby botanical garden adds to the atmosphere. Open year-round, it’s an ideal stop for anyone exploring Montreal’s quieter, picturesque side that’s providing a space where history and modernity coexist for the curious of all ages.
