Did you know that beyond books, the Stittsville Library Branch has so much more. The library hosts workshops and events every month. Students can study and do homework in a quiet study area. You can borrow Chromebooks, they offer scanning services, bring those old documents and newspaper clippings to read on their microfilm and microfiche readers, and bring your used batteries for drop-off for recycling. They have a section for second-hand book sales, a local history section and the Grace Thompson meeting room that has a capacity of 42 for rentals. If you just want a cozy spot to relax, their welcoming fireplace, comfy chairs and sofa offer that as well. These are just a few of attractions that our local library is pleased to share with residents.
