Ottawa Public Library – Orléans is a great community branch with a calm atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful, and they made the process easy and welcoming. The layout feels special and cozy, with warm design elements and wooden beams. It is quiet and spacious, a comfortable place to browse or read. The library photocopy service is also great. Place a hold and have it shipped to the branch beforehand. It is a wonderful place for kids, and employees are always helpful. Summer activities like ukulele are popular.

1st time I was there. Beautiful layout including wooden beams. The gentleman at the front was very helpful me getting my 1st library card in 40 years and mentioned closer locations to my residence.

Quiet enough for studying, clean, warm. A great layout with something for everyone’s needs.
