When the cold winter days and nights arrive, it is the perfect time to visit the Stittsville Library to choose a book or two to enrich your mind through the words of a creative author. Find that cozy corner at home, curl up with your favourite throw and a hot beverage, then settle in to turn the pages of a good read.
Please note that all Ottawa Public Library Branches will be closed on Monday, February 16th for Family Day.
For the month of February, the Goulbourn Township Historical Society has a photo display for residents to view on the Art Space Wall at the Library. The display is entitled, Goulbourn’s Musical Talent: Past and Present. The display brings together images of local music artists and performers who have contributed to the community’s cultural life over generations.
Below are a few activities and programs the Stittsville Branch will be hosting over the next month, with some further along that require registration.
