As children return from summer vacation refreshed and full of curiosity, many families are settling back into school routines. For some parents, this season feels energizing; for others, it’s a search for creative ways to make everyday moments more meaningful.

This fall, connect with your community through a love of reading. Ottawa Public Library offers programs for you to meet other readers in your community and resources to support your own book club. 

Happy Library Month! 🎉

Since 1985, the Ottawa Book Awards have been shining a spotlight on the very best books published in English and French. With categories in both fiction and non-fiction, the awards celebrate the voices that make our literary community so vibrant.
