OPL - the best part of Ottawa

My family and I visit the library at least once a week. We often have a variety of books on hold for us: cookbooks and graphic novels for me, novels, non-fiction, and DVDs for my husband and children's literature for my kids (starting with picture books when they were young and now moving on to teen titles). And actually we also borrow switch games and CDs. We use services such as Kanopy and Mango languages. With all of this I feel like the library has enriched my life in so many ways. I so value the amazing collection of physical and online resources. And, I appreciate the "third space" aspect of the library as well. When my kids were younger and we lived in a tiny non airconditioned apartment going to the library to cool down was a life saver. I truly believe that the public library is the best thing about Ottawa and I recommend the services, the spaces and the events to everyone who thinks Ottawa is the city that fun forgot.
