April at the Library

For the whole month, the OPL will be offering free, unlimited access to Valid by Chris Bergeron in both eBook and audiobook format as part of One eRead Canada. Clients can read or listen through the library website, Libby, Cantook, and CloudLibrary — with no holds or waitlists all month long! Set in a disturbingly transfigured Montréal in the year 2050, Valid is an ambitious work that is as much philosophical as it is confessional.
