Les Amis de la Bibliothèque de Montréal (ABM) is a non-profit organization founded in 1993. Their mission is to promote reading and support the network of Montreal public libraries. The organization works to encourage Montrealers to use public libraries. They aim to democratize access to reading, information, knowledge, and culture. ABM serves as a catalyst for community engagement through literary initiatives.
Geographically, Les Amis de la Bibliothèque de Montréal focuses its activities within the Montreal area. They operate throughout the city's library network. Their annual book sale takes place at local arenas in Montreal. In 2020, they held their book sale at the Martin-Brodeur arena in Saint-Léonard. Their programs serve Montrealers of all ages across the city's neighborhoods.
Program highlights include organizing an annual book sale of materials withdrawn from Montreal libraries. This sale is their main source of revenue. They fund over 300 activities annually for children and adults in participating libraries. ABM supports reading promotion programs like "Livres dans la rue" for children aged 5-12. They sponsor the "Lire et faire lire" program where seniors read stories to children. The organization provides grants for literary prizes including Prix du livre jeunesse and Bédélys Québec.
