Who are We? Submitted by Robin on Tue, 2009-09-08 20:27. Atwater Digital Literacy Project The Atwater Digital Literacy Project, a project of the Atwater Library, gets kids and community groups using creative web technologies (blogging, audio, video, digital photos) to help them express themselves, find new ways to talk about things important to them, and to help them build their own communities. The Atwater Digital Literacy Project is an initiative of the Atwater Library and Computer Centre, and is administered by Robin Kelley who can be reached at dlp(at)atwaterlibrary.ca. Many other dedicated volunteers are working to build the project. Check out our Staff and Volunteers to meet some of them. Find out how you can help! Atwater Library and Computer Centre (ALCC) The Atwater Library and Computer Centre (ALCC), located in a 1920s heritage building in western downtown Montreal, is a community-oriented facility with a library, a multi-faceted computer centre, and an auditorium seating 100. ALCC was founded in 1828 as the Mechanics’ Institute of Montreal, and it is the oldest lending library in Canada. The building is a National Historic Site. Officially known as the Atwater Library of the Mechanics’ Institute of Montreal, ALCC is an independent facility open to all residents of Canada. Funding is primarily by private donations and internally-generated activities. ALCC is a registered charity. The mandate of The Atwater Library of the Mechanics’ Institute of Montreal as an independent, non-profit, non-governmental and charitable corporation, is to afford its members and more generally the public residing anywhere in Canada, access to its collection of books, periodicals, computer systems and other materials in various media for their instruction, information and leisure. Furthermore the organization’s goal is to foster the advancement of knowledge by providing instruction and other educational and informative meetings and lectures as well as the resources for self-education.
