Our local Public Library is a great place to visit. Enjoy browsing through the aisles and shelves. So many interesting books to read but time is at a premium. Due to the current Health concerns now is not a good time. The staff has always been understanding and helpful. Now there are apps to search for authors and their stories then arrange to pick up books at the Library or download E-books to tablets. Although popular Authors books usually have a long waiting time there are many books that are available to read in between. Still it will be nice to visit and see the tangible books again. Something to look forward to, soon... read more

UPDATE October 2017: (really, 3 1/2 stars if only I could award half-stars) I did not know that the library had that big room at the back for special functions - until I attended a monthly event there this month. The Goulbourn Museum (south on Stittsville Main St.) is under renovations. It's a heritage building, having been built in 1871 as a centre of commerce in Stittsville when there was literally NOTHING else around there. The problems with the dip in the floor are being addressed in the Museum, and naturally it's taking longer than planned. Meanwhile, the monthly knitting and other crafter's group is meeting in this big room in the library until at least January. We had a good turnout! Two people with spinning wheels, a new member who needed help with her project (she got it sorted out!!), lots of knitters and crocheters, and we were visited by a baby! What fun!! - - - - - - - - Update July 2017: the library has been renovated and looks much bigger. They have automated now too. I really miss dealing with people! ---------- Really, this would be a 2.5 star. I love to read, but this library is very small. Not so much in the space, but definitely so in the reading materials. They do have special events here at least once in a while, and intriguingly, they recently had art works from a local painter up on display and for sale. There's a great children's section. Maybe this outlet is just new and building, ro maybe this is the new reality with libraries. I will have to compare this one to two or three others that are also close by. However, I can say that I picked up a delicious novel that is based on Leonardo Davinci's life. Great reading!! "Signora Da Vinci" by Robin Maxell. I'm about half way through it now. read more

I love the Stittsville library. The staff are excellent, friendly and most helpful. The selection is wonderful and will be a bit more difficult with the cuts to the library but I still find there are lots to choose from. There are many programs from story time for the tots to knitting classes for everyone. The thing is, this is a jewel in our community and if not being used will fall on the wayside and get amalgamated or worse yet close. Let's treasure this place read more
