This unique, circular library building in St-Pierre-Jolys was designed by noted architect Etienne Gaboury and constructed around 1964. Through the years, it has been a gymasium, church, and classroom. Most recently, it is a library that has a unique configuration serving the surrounding community as well as the local high school (originally, St. Pierre Collegiate, now the École Héritage Immersion) to which it is connected.
