The MCL has three branches: Atwater Branch, (1200 Atwater, Westmount), Richmond Square (875 Richmond Square, Little Burgundy), and Jean-Rivard (4121 42nd Street, St-Michel).
Each branch has a collection of picture books, easy-to-read books, fiction, non-fiction and reference materials. Books are available for children and adults in English and French. Books are available in other languages including Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Arabic and Hindi. The proportion of the collections by language depends on the area the branch library serves.
