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!

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.

  • Robert Johns

It's a municipal library. You can borrow books. Pro: Easy and quick. Lots of parking. Con: Hours and selection aren't as good as other branches but it gets the job done. (If I'm looking for something specific, I just reserve it online for pickup at the most convenient branch anyway.)

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.

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!

  • serge villeneuve

I have not been in a library for a while and I found that this library was very noisy. People were talking pretty loud and all at the same time. I think that a library should be a quieter environment.

  • Sri Julio

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

  • Lexie N

Cute. Good selection. Libraries are meant to be, generally, quiet places. Visitors are very loud and staff does nothing about it, as they themselves are quite loud as well.

  • Sohrab Ebrahimi

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.

  • Youssef ABADA

Place very quite, equipment are very helpful (computers, individual tables, children space ..). Thank you for the quality of the service

  • rigel star

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.

  • Mehrdad Parchami-Araghi

You can experience the Canada’s diversity and respect for freedom here at the OPL particularly @ the St. Laurent branch.
