So many great resources

The library is a tremendous public resource which I am very grateful for. While I always love a good book, the diversity of media available is great, and I really enjoy the music and movies on offer as well.

The digital collection in particular is something I get a lot of use out of. E-books are what I mostly use, and while old fashion books are also nice, the convenience of the digital collection is amazing, especially with the partner libraries.

I don't have any specific suggestions for future improvements, beyond continuing to maintain a relevant, diverse, and up-to-date collection. The library is great for both me and my family, and I hope it is able to continue the excellent and essential service it provides.

My favourite public service

The Ottawa Public Library means a lot to me. To name a few examples:- It helped me rediscover my love of reading after high school.- The librarians are kind and friendly and help me set up my Kobo so that I can borrow e-books.- During my lunch break at work, I could use the internet to check my emails when I was job and apartment searching.- I was able to borrow audio books to listen to when I underwent eye surgery.- I joined a book club and attended a wide range of events both in-person and online from author visits…

Resource Hub

The library is a resource hub, and it has saved me thousands of dollars in the last decade and half. Most of the time, I need a book for only a chapter or some pages that are relevant (which would not justify buying the book). We cannot compete with other economies if we do not have access to a variety of knowledge resources and read them to acquire knowledge.
