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

Drop-in to work on your family tree, share research strategies, and discover what resources are available for your research. Sessions are held every other Tuesday at 2:00pm in the Genealogy area. 

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

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

All welcome! 

Join us for this fun and easy craft as we teach you to make coasters out of cotton fabric to place your cups, mugs and glasses on.

Absolutely no experience with a sewing machine needed. We will walk you step-by-step through the entire process, teaching you everything that you need to know. All supplies will be provided. 

Registration is required. 

Do you have children ages 6 to 9?  ​Would you like them to read more? ​

Join our weekly Reading Buddies program. ​Each child will be paired with a teen volunteer for ​fun and interactive, 30-minute read aloud sessions. ​

Registration is required for this program.

Get up close and personal with your photographic subjects such as flowers, insects, water droplets, or detailed parts of larger subjects or scenes. Learn how to isolate your subject from the background, and control how much of the image is in sharp focus. You can shoot up close with regular lenses and cell phones but Lynda will also include a discussion about using dedicated macro lenses. Presented by Lynda Buske from the Ottawa PC Users' Group and the Orleans Photo Club
