  • Centennial Branch: Parking Lot Unavailable During Construction

    Starting mid-October, the Centennial branch parking lot will be fully repaved. 
    Work will take about six weeks.

    During this time:

    • The parking lot will be closed.
    • The main entrance will be closed at times during the project.
    • Signs will direct visitors to an alternate entrance, which may not be accessible to individuals with mobility challenges.
    • There will be construction noise during this period.

    The branch will remain open during this time. 

About the Branch

Designed by architect Hans Stutz, this octagonal-shaped library opened in October 1967. The original 1,900 square foot building has undergone two octagonal additions, in 1970 and 1974, adding a meeting room and basement to the Library. 

This branch has a Friends of the Ottawa Public Library Association (FOPLA) used book store.

The Centennial branch has a long-standing commitment to providing quality children's programs and one of the longest running adult book clubs in the system.
