The Reginald J. P. Dawson Library Earns Top BiblioQUALITÉ 2025 Rating

The Town of Mount Royal has been awarded the Level 5 BiblioQUALITÉ distinction for 2025 — the highest rating granted by the Association des bibliothèques publiques du Québec. With a 100 % score, the library stands out for its outstanding services and investments: 9,241 print books acquired, 64 weekly opening hours, a 3,100 m² space, 254 seats, and nearly 40 full-time employees, including six librarians. The library also received a bonus for eliminating late fees, highlighting its strong commitment to accessibility and cultural enrichment for all residents.

The BiblioQUALITÉ program aims to recognize, on an objective and sustainable basis, the investment efforts made in public libraries by each municipality that is a member of the ABPQ or a participating regional BIBLIO network.
