Librairie Saint-Henri Books is where literary passion meets community spirit. Since its opening in 2018, this Saint-Henri gem has become a cultural anchor, offering a meticulously curated selection of titles that range from contemporary fiction and children’s books to cookbooks, zines, and graphic novels. Its ethos is unapologetically local—spotlighting POC, queer, and Indigenous authors alongside an ever-changing roster of Montréal-based writers and artists.
Inside, the space balances cosy charm with bright, inviting energy. Thoughtful displays, including poetry collections and local publications line the shelves. Beyond books, the store nurtures connections through events like author readings, workshops, and themed book clubs that have become a cornerstone of its identity. A small café connection adds an extra layer of warmth, making it an ideal spot to browse, linger, or chat about your latest read.
