Named in honor of George Wilson Wallace, Champlain College-Saint-Lambert teacher and Campus Director, the George W. Wallace Library and Media Centre is located on the second and third floors of B-Block. Newly renovated, the Library provides ample collaborative group workspace as well as plenty of space for quiet study. With close to 90 computers and wireless connectivity throughout, the Library is the perfect place to come for all your work and information needs.
In addition to the Loans Desk and Reference Desk, on the main floor students will find the teacher Reserves collection, the Reference collection, a few magazines as well as some Canadian Government documents, our Graphic Novels/Comic book collection and our fiction Paperback collection (more great reads in the literature section on the 3rd floor).
Designated as a Quiet Study Area, students will find computers available in the B-214 library research orientation classroom as well as in the main study spaces.
*** Fall 2021: Library classroom unavailable, awaiting the setup of the library computers. ***

The Library's circulating book collection is located on the 3rd floor of the B-block. The only block on campus with a 3rd floor.
This floor is designated as the Silent Study Area. In this area, students will find plenty of individual study carrels with great views of the Maritime park, Parc Jean-Drapeau, Pont Jacques-Cartier, Saint-Lawrence Seaway, Mont-Royal and of course la ville de Montréal .
The Library is named in honour of George Wilson Wallace. In 1972, he was one of the first faculty members hired by Champlain Saint-Lambert as an instructor in History and Humanities. He was one of the founding members of the Champlain College Teachers' Association (CCTA).
In 1974, Mr. Wallace became the Director of the Continuing Education and turned it into one of the largest in the CEGEP system.
In 1976, he assumed the role of Campus Director and served in that position until his eventual retirement in 2003. Under his leadership, the campus more than tripled in size from 1,000 to over 2,500 students. It is during this period of growth that he oversaw the construction of this library.
We are hopeful that our wonderful state-of-the art George W. Wallace Library will build on what he started.
