Week 13 - Ottawa Public Library Foundation

I'm a huge fan of the Ottawa Public Library. At any given time, I usually have a couple books, CDs, and DVDs out on loan. Working a block away from the main branch is fortunate, as I get to access the services they offer three days a week when I'm in the office. For the reasons above, I donated to the Ottawa Public Library Foundation. Yes, municipal tax dollars help cover the library expenses, but with a planned move to a new facility in the near future, and costs rising for materials, donations help maintain their vast array of services.

    The Friends of the Ottawa Public Library Association is another option (www.OttawaPublicLibraryFriends.ca).

    You can buy your books at one of their 14 bookstore locations in library branches for usually just a dollar or two.

    Each year the Friends give the library about $250,000, raised by book sales.
