An essential part of my life and my 12 year old sons'. He practically grew up here. My only wish is that Ottawa being the nation's capital had a main library that reflected that status. While the LRT may be important in getting stinky buses off our streets, I'd like to think that city council would be more proud in really supporting and pushing for a library,say like the Bibleotheque Nationale that was built in Montreal a couple of years ago. Funny,there never seems to be any money for a community oriented library offering loads of great services.
Huge location with plenty of material. The librarians do a great job keeping the place running smooth and clean. It can get a bit loud at times since some people confuse a library with a day care or after school program but that is not the fault of the library. Overall a happy if loud location with a great selection for all sorts of readers.
Very bad location. I went there to study when I was in school, and it was a big mistake. Homeless people all over the library and a constant stream of homeless people coming in and out of the washrooms. It's more of a drop in centre than a library.Some guys were watching porn, and in a public library. How is this even allowed?They City of Ottawa should wake up and realize this particular location is attracting a lot of people abusing the internet privileges and homeless people treating it as a drop in centre. Security should really crack down on people coming to this particular library location and abusing the policies. People come here to study and to get assignments done. They shouldn't have to deal with other people looking at porn and ruining the quiet environment.
The best place to find books and sit and read. There is also a used books store.
My favorite place in Ottawa. I go there in order to be alone & read some books. It makes my day. The place is clean. The staff is friendly & helpful. A huge place. & they have a lot of collections.
