Background - Little Free Libraries within ROW

The current City of Ottawa Use and Care of Roads By-law does not permit the installation of a Little Free Library within the ROW.

The benefits of permitting Little Free Library installations within City of Ottawa ROW’s can include:

• Increasing a sense of community
• Improving literacy rates
• Ensuring affordability as these resources are free for all users
• Providing access to different reading materials
• Providing a means to recycle used books
