| Notes | The L'Oeuvre des Bons Livres de Montreal was one of the earliest collections of Francophone books in Montreal. Modeled after the original French L'Oeuvre des Bons Livres des Bordeaux, the lending library was started in 1844 by the priests of the French order of Saint Sulpice. The J.M.J. stands for Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

| Transcript | J.M.J. Montreal Oeuvre des Bons Livres. I. Evitez de salir les livres ; n'ecrivez rien dessus ; ne pliez ni ne perdez pas les feuillets ; ne froissez pas le couvert ; ne les laissez pas trainer dans la maison ; rapportez-les bien enve- loppes. Si vous les perdez ou en- dommagez, payez-en la valeur. II. Vous ne pouvez avoir qu'un livre a la fois ; si vous en voulez deux payez deux abonnements. N'emportez jamais de livres sans les faire inscrire au regis- tre du bibliothecaire. III. Si vous les gardez plus de 30 jours, vous payerez une amende de 3 sous, pour chaque semaine que vous lais- serez passer sans les rapporter. IV. Faites attention aux heures d'admis- sion. Et chaque annee au 1er d'Aout, rapportez tous les livres, afin qu'on puisse les reparer, et remettre la biblio- theque en bone ordre ; vous cesserez alors d'en prendre pendant 15 jours. |
