Join OPL in celebrating Capital Pride this August!

OTTAWA- Ottawa Public Library (OPL) is excited to announce a series of joyful and inclusive events in celebration of Capital Pride. Throughout August, the Library will be celebrating Pride with programs, collections, and by participating in Captial Pride events.  

Teens are invited to listen to the experiences of members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in a French language program offered in collaboration with FrancoQueer. This program will take place at the Orléans branch on August 16 at 2pm.  

OPL will be at the Capital Pride Street Fair on Bank St on August 23 and 24, where staff will be providing book recommendations to festival goers. On August 23, OPL will be hosting Drag Storytime at Dundonald Park with a local drag performer (time to be confirmed). The Bibliobus will be in the parade on August 24.  

For those unable to attend an event, OPL’s collection offers reading recommendations and resources to celebrate the joy of reading with pride.
