Ottawa Public Library - Main

Great place for public access
I visited on Tuesday, it was not very busy
I was allowed with my service dog
You’re allowed to take pictures
It’s very large and sectioned there are multiple floors
I dint have time to visit the other floors.
First floor was very big too
No tickets needed!

Library is great. Only one guy who had a confused phone conversation on speaker. Many a "What? " was had. More amusing than annoying. Would recommend.

Lots of books, you can print there.pretty goated.free internet.fun puzzles and also some good microfilm stuff in the archives.awesome!

Les bibliothécaires ici sont toujours si utiles. Grande sélection de livres. Beaucoup de zones spacieuses à étudier.

This library is really good! They have a huge selection, free wifi and lots of areas to study! Staff are welcoming and sweet! Although it can be loud for a library depending on the day.

Staff are great. Bring can of Fabreeze before you sit in the chairs. Strange people frequent the place. Really smelly people.wear a Gaz mask! Bed bugs?

I love the selection of books at the library and the staff is super nice and helpful. However, a lot of people are loud (ei: talking on the phone) or act out in tamper tantrums and it's extremely disruptive to people who come here to study and work. I understand they can't just easily throw people out but I think there should be a tighter control on who can access the library and a zero tolerance policy on disruptive behaviours.

My husband and I go to the library regularly. The librarians are very helpful and it is a very welcoming place.

Library? More like an open air madhouse. It's truly sad what this place has become. This is the kind of place where you are not allowed to speak to other people if you are studying but it's okay to inject drugs in the washroom. We live in an upside down world. I have nothing but respect to the workers of the library who have to put up with the decline of civilization.

Une bibliothèque à service très utile et rentable, des ouvrages importants pour toutes catégories Ainsi un accompagnement à la hauteur, genial, apporte une aide aux utilisateurs tout en préparent et ranger les commandes et livres bin courage
