Gong at Noon: Sharing Our Favorites

The Cité Library invites participants to share their favorite books, films, and video games at the Midi Gong sessions. Once a month on a Thursday, each participant has a few minutes to present their top finds before the gong sounds, prompting the next participant to take over. Those who prefer not to present are welcome to simply come and listen.

In French.
