Make the Stittsville Library your go-to this summer! Just a friendly reminder that Sunday hours will be paused for the months of July and August – the library will be closed on Sundays and will return to opening on Sundays starting September 7th. Summer holiday closures includes July 1 (Canada Day), August 4 (Colonel By Day), and September 1 (Labour Day).
Summer Reading Club – Fun and Exploration This Summer at OPL!
Once again, Ottawa Public Library is thrilled to encourage young readers with the chance to win a fantastic prize. Kids who take on the challenge of reading throughout the summer will receive a reading notebook and calendar to record their reading dates. It’s a fun and motivating way to keep those reading skills sharp while school’s out! Show the staff at the information hub your reading log to receive a contest ballot for a chance to win a small prize.
Registration for children’s programs is open – secure your children’s spot in one of our programs today! For summer programs for children at the Stittsville Branch, please click here! Make sure to note which ones are drop-ins and which require registration. We will have self-guided interactions throughout the children’s section to keep them entertained – look out for scavenger hunts and ISpy displays!
