LaSalle strike trims L’Octogone library’s weekend hours
A strike by Montréal professionals is reducing Friday-to-Sunday hours at LaSalle’s L’Octogone library while essential services remain available.
LaSalle residents planning a library visit should check the clock: a legal strike by Montréal professionals is temporarily reducing hours at L’Octogone and affecting some activities.
The borough says the library is open from 10 a.m. to 8:45 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 10 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Some scheduled activities may be cancelled or postponed.
The Syndicat des professionnelles et professionnels municipaux de Montréal began the job action on October 19. The strike periods run from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. the next day Monday through Thursday, and from 5 p.m. Friday until 8 a.m. Monday. LaSalle says services needed for public health and safety are being maintained.
