Library

These monthly lectures bring together leaders, experts and the public to share knowledge and ideas about how to build a great capital.

Which books did we check out of the Ottawa Public Library the most this year?

Here are my picks for what I enjoyed the most from teen and adult books for 2016. It was quite a struggle whittling it down to these twenty-eight books from the over 400 I read so far this year, but these were some of the more entertaining ones I found.

Here are some of the best teen books I read, plus some of the graphic novels I came across that stood out. Next up will be the adult books, which just goes to show, it was a great year for good reads.

Opinion: If Ottawa wants the new central library to really serve and succeed as a branch for local residents, a civic centre for all citizens and as an attraction for visitors – and not be an under-used white elephant – then its location matters to all of us.

It’s that time of the year, where our Librarian In Residence shares some of the gems she has come across in her reading.

Is this the year you want to learn how to cook healthy meals? How to eat well on a budget? How to cook once and eat for days? You’re in luck!

The Teen Author Fest is a great event that can help enlighten those in dire need of an adventure and provide the tools needed to create their own.
