There is always something to do at our Stittsville Library Branch. You can find a cozy corner and read a book or the daily newspapers. While you are there, stop by “A Good Read” used book store. It is “a good deal” for the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Library branches benefit from book store revenues thanks to the Friends of Ottawa Public Library Association.
