Title
Un lieu de rencontre entre deux communautés : La première bibliothèque publique à Sherbrooke
Abstract
The first public library in Sherbrooke opened in 1886. The founders of the library were the leading citizens of the city, who had organized themselves into the Sherbrooke Library and Art Association. Three of the members, comprising twenty percent of the group, were Francophones. The majority, eighty percent, were Anglophones. The Montreal architect James Nelson (1830-1919) designed the Sherbrooke Library and Art Building on Dufferin Street. The building remained the city's library and cultural center until 1927.
