Starting Monday, June 3, the Main branch of Ottawa Public Library will be undergoing significant repairs to the building’s foundation.
The main entrance will be limited to one door only but will remain accessible.
The branch, collections, and all services will remain open and available throughout the construction.
The hub of the 33-branch OPL system, the Main branch the largest library in the system, with the greatest selection of material of all kinds and the most public access Internet stations in the city. Located downtown in the heart of the business and government communities, the Main branch is the place for reference services, including the Ottawa Room, which holds an extensive collection of local historical documents. This branch has a Friends of the Ottawa Public Library Association (FOPLA) used book store.
The Main branch received these improvements in 2014.
