Ottawa Public Library - Library hours increasing after Thanksgiving
The Ottawa Public Library is pleased to let you know that after
Thanksgiving you will have more opportunities to enjoy the library in
person. While we continue to face staffing challenges, we will be
increasing opening hours across the majority of the Library’s 33
branches. In fact, we began last month by increasing Sunday hours to the
full day. OPL’s 10 branches Sunday with opening hours are open for full
days every Sunday, from 10 am to 5 pm -- first time ever!
Beginning Tuesday, October 11, most urban and suburban branches will be open from 10 am to 8 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, allowing for more morning visits to the Library and the holding favourite programs such as Babytime and Storytime.
Additional hours are also coming to some rural branches with both Osgoode and Vernon open Tuesday evenings until 8 pm, as another step towards resuming regular, pre-pandemic hours of operation.
And the return of more local branch service in Metcalfe village has arrived with the new branch location at 8243 Victoria Street, in the Town Hall, opening on October 13, 2022.
Hours and locations are published on the OPL website.
We look forward to seeing you in one of our 33 branches this autumn!

Ottawa Public Library - Happy Library Month!
Welcome to October ̶ and Library Month! We have fun and thought-provoking activities lined up in all of Ottawa Public Library’s 33 branches and online. We hope you will join in and spread the word about what you enjoy most about the Library.
We
also want to show our appreciation to all of you: readers, learners,
makers, writers, artists, researchers, gamers, researchers, seekers and
explorers of all kinds. OPL is here for you! To help you stay curious,
connected and well-informed.
This October, Ottawa Public
Library (OPL) will be highlighting its important role in countering
misinformation and disinformation and to support information literacy
skills. OPL’s theme this year is a reminder and call to action:
“Read between the lines/ Lire entre les lignes”.
Given
the sheer volume of mis- and disinformation in a world characterized by
“fake news” and information overload, libraries can help customers of
all ages to become more information savvy, to think critically and
upgrade their skills for seeking, finding and interpreting
information.
All month, in various ways, OPL will be reaching
out to promote the abundance of high-quality resources available at the
Library with a free OPL card. OPL is a trustworthy source of credible
information, diverse informed perspectives and helpful expertise.
Let’s
flag the importance of information literacy as a crucial skill in
flooded and frantic media landscape of today. Share your thoughts,
questions and experiences with us. Join this timely conversation and
participate in Library Month activities online (on OPL social media channels or website) and in-branch.
During Library Month you could win a limited-edition “thinking cap” emblazoned with the “Read between the lines!” message.
An
additional bonus during Library Month, any new customer to sign up for a
library card will receive their choice of a locally-made OPL fanny pack
or book bag and so will the person who referred them (while supplies
last). Remember, Ottawa residents can register online or in person for a
OPL library card – always FREE.
In
so many ways, the Library is a place that brings people together and
helps forge connections that build stronger communities, so we hope you
to carry your OPL card with pride and to use it often. We hope to see
you and hear from you very soon and celebrate Library Month together.
Special thanks to the Friends of Ottawa Public Library Association for their support to Library Month!
