I love this library. The collection is always well kept and updated with a good selection for kids. There is free WiFi when you sign up for a membership and nice sitting areas

Its been some years since I had been to the Ottawa Library. Today I needed to use my local library and I had many things to accomplish. Overall, I was able to accomplish what I needed to and the facilities were fine. However.... then I asked a simple question. "How can I print?" I was not up to date on whether one can print directly from one's computer or not. My question was met with annoyance and clear impatience. The staff member was clearly put out by my question and made me feel very uncomfortable. Eventually and without much assistance I was able to determine that there are terminals from which one can print. From the outset.. the staff member could have simply indicated that was the print options available at the location. It is unfortunate that the INFORMATION DESK... doesn't easily or willingly SHARE information!

Its a fine place to go. They could be a little more updated but over all it was a nice place and I would go there again.

I always had a great time at this OPL branch. From the friendly staff and volunteers to the public, my experiences have always been pleasant.

We loved the library, the gym and the pools. My 2 kids learned how to swim here. My daughter did some ballet too. Great staff and instructors

Quiet spot and good selection of books. Found it a little cold and I’ll lit at places but still had a good amount of natural light. Seating space for groups is not as vast but still provides working stations. Mostly individual studying spots for students and comfy chairs for those wishing to leisure read.

Stopped by to get a museum pass. They currently have a designated separate entrance to keep the OPL visitors apart from the vaccine clinic lineup. The place itself is lovely and easy to navigate. Staff was friendly and helpful!

I am writing to thank all the people at arobitics for their kind understanding of the cross dresser Mark Kizel that once went there in his pink out fits. But, because of Covid - 19 . He will not be returning since he passed away in his apartment a few days ago. He refused to go to the hospital like I asked him too. He will be missed by me.

All the women working in the library are always speaking in French. You feel like an outsider if you ask them any question in English.

I can’t speak for the inside - although it’s always busy so I’m sure it’s great - but around back off it is perfect for letting your dog off leash and run/fetch as it’s a fairly long stretch of open field. My dog Nova and I go every day and she loves it.

Travis Lamoureux
