Resources

Due to the neighbourhood's central location, residents of Old Ottawa South enjoy access to a multitude of resources - many of which are within easy walking distance. On this page you will find links to a few of these resources.

Ottawa Public Library - Sunnyside Branch

This well-loved branch is located on a busy stretch of Bank Street in the heart of a very active and community-spirited residential area. Overlooking the Rideau Canal, it features a lovely flower garden in the summer and easy access to skating in the winter. The busy children's department features a full range of programs.

Completely renovated and expanded in 2009-2010, the Sunnyside branch reopened in mid-August, 2010 with an increased children's department, a new programming space, automated book checkout, and other improvements.

Carleton University Library

Carleton University Library is a full-service academic library, supporting the information needs of the Carleton University community. The Library maintains a printed collection of over two million volumes and a growing collection of electronic products (some of which are available through their website).

Several libraries in the Ottawa region have joined together to provide the "Capital Sm@rt Library" portal, where you can search all participating libraries and discover which library holds the material you want. You can then apply for a temporary user card or request the item through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).

Use of the Library is free of charge to Carleton faculty, staff and students. Carleton alumni may use the library for a fee of $25 per year. Members of the general public may also use the library, if they pay the annual $75 borrower's fee.

Public users may take materials out for a 2-week period.
