Community Volunteer Income Tax Program 

Do you have a modest income and/or a simple tax situation? 

Our community volunteers may be able to take care of your tax return this year! Click here to check your eligibility before dropping by (scroll down and click the Eligibility Criteria drop down to view the full list).

The North Gloucester branch will be offering free English tax clinics that will operate on a first come, first served basis. Add your name to the day's list at the front desk. Expect appointments to run about 45 minutes. Please note that partners looking to get their taxes done together will need the time of two appointments (90 minutes). You do not need a library membership card to attend a tax clinic (though we'd love to get you set up with one while you wait, or after your taxes have been filed!) 

Any questions can be directly emailed to Celia. 

Clinics start March 20 with a varied schedule throughout March and April. Click on the "View full schedule" link to the right to see dates and times offered. 

**Our volunteers will not be processing self-employed or business taxes - simple returns only. They may refuse anyone that does not meet the eligibility criteria.

Want to learn more about your family history or getting stuck working on your family tree?  

Drop-in on alternating Tuesday afternoons, anytime between 2 – 3 to work on your family tree, share research strategies, and discover what resources are available for your research.  

Specialists from the Ontario Genealogical Society Ottawa Branch and the Ottawa Public Library will be here to answer questions and help you get the most from library resources.  

Bring your laptop, tablet, or borrow a Chromebook from the library.  

All welcome! 

Local History & Genealogy Reference Department Second Floor 

No registration required. 2 – 3 on alternating Tuesdays; please see schedule at right. 

Get feedback on your writing (any genre) and ideas from the group. Hear the work of other writers and offer your feedback. Discuss issues about writing and publishing. Share your triumphs, trials and tribulations with a supportive, informal group.  "Pen and Paper" is just a name.  Bring any medium you want. 

Do you need a casual, friendly environment where you can practice your English-speaking skills?  Look no further than the English Conversation Circle!  Receive guidance from our experienced conversation group leaders, meet new people, and gain confidence in your English speaking.
