To the Argo community:

First off, please note that in keeping with Quebec-wide restrictions, the Argo is closed from December 25 to January 10, inclusive. We will be reopening on January 11 with regular hours and the same now-customary precautions we have been taking.

The ongoing global pandemic has affected all of our lives in countless ways, and life at the Argo has been no exception. Between increased hygiene measures, a change in how we run events, and creative ways of getting books to you, we've adapted as best we can.

We have installed a plastic shield at the front desk; we provide hand sanitizer at the front and require customers and employees to wear masks; we sanitize major surfaces multiple times a day; we offer the possibility of contactless curbside pickup and even deliver books right to your door. 

We've also moved our Thursday night events online, which has allowed us to open them up to guests and attendees from all over the world. We've been hosting an exciting variety of book clubs, poetry nights, author visits, and more; if you want to join in, check the events page on our website or keep an eye on our social media.

And finally, let us thank you once again for all the support you've shown us over the past months. This is a strange and unpredictable time to be an independent bookstore, and between ordering books online, joining events, and telling friends about us, you've all turned up for the Argo in a big way. We can't thank you enough.

- Your staff at the Argo
