The quest

Rain plan at Bibliothèque Hélène-Charbonneau: one unfamiliar aisle, one sentence in a note, then back to the street.

Steps

  1. Enter Bibliothèque Hélène-Charbonneau. Confirm it is open. If it is not, the quest is over.
  2. Stand in one aisle you do not usually use. Copy one sentence (a phone note is fine).
  3. Return the book. Do not make this a coffee outing.

Why this is on the board

Public libraries are how Montreal stays open when the weather does not. Bibliothèque Hélène-Charbonneau (on Rue Lajeunesse, east of centre, Montreal) gives you a free indoor room and one sentence you did not have when you walked in.

Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
