History naturally comes alive and the community is involved at the Carp branch - the Library is located in a former Canadian Forces base building at the site of the Diefenbunker Cold War Museum! The West Carleton Garden Club maintains a Reading Garden - a peaceful oasis to enjoy some great literature checked out from the Ottawa Public Library. This branch has Friends of the Ottawa Public Library Association (FOPLA) used books sales.

Well water test samples accepted on Wednesdays. See details.
