Librairie Drawn & Quarterly is a Mile End institution where comics, literature, and community converge. Born out of the legendary comic publisher Drawn & Quarterly, this English-language bookstore has been a beacon for Montreal readers since opening in 2007. Its shelves overflow with carefully curated selections of graphic novels, fiction, non-fiction, children’s books, and local treasures, blending international voices with Mile End’s vibrant creativity.
Housed in a renovated dress shop, the space exudes warmth and character, making it a hub for literary enthusiasts. The shop also champions emerging authors, diverse perspectives, and graphic storytelling. Regular events featuring celebrated authors like Zadie Smith, Roxane Gay, and Alison Bechdel create an atmosphere that’s both intellectual and welcoming.
