This library is quiet and does have a few cozy corners and such but it's not very large and sound does carry. Stacks of books, DVDs and other materials. Friendly librarians who seem very willing to help. There is plaque near the front entrance, "The central part of this building was originally the Rosseel Mansion afterward converted into the summer residence of George C. Clark of New York City. In the year 1895 it became the Ogdensburg Public Library through the generosity of Mr. Clark and the contributions of public-spirited citizens."

The library is a museum!!! It's so beautiful inside and out! And if you're just visiting the area I would suggest stopping by and exploring the library to see the beautiful history that is inside! It is located close to Fort Drum, about 15 minutes or so depending on traffic. There is a parking lot in the back that has accessible parking and along the side of the library are wheelchair accessible entrances.

As Darren mentioned, this place is super helpful for Algonquin Students, which was why I ended up there in the first place - but not for the reason you might think! I needed to find a location for a photography assignment and my professor suggested Ben Franklin Place. "Really? A library?" was my first thought. Never doubt your photography teacher. This place is beautiful - a little oasis in the heart of Nepean. The building itself is beautiful, but the landscaping is fantastic (yes, I'll get to the books, I promise). There's a huge fountain that's turned into a skating rink in the winter, a lovely garden with beautiful flowers and plants and a shaded seating area. This first time I didn't even make it inside! I now visit this library every Saturday where I tutor a six year-old. Their children's section is outstanding - sweet librarians like you read about in books, a massive selection of books and crayons and colouring pages to keep little ones busy. The library also offers a ton of services for job seekers, new Canadians and those interested in learning about computers. The book selection is fantastic, and I love that you can rent e-books online. If you're looking for a quiet spot to study, a playgroup for the little ones or a place to learn something new be sure to drop by. The building also houses the Centrepointe Theatre, tons of meeting space and a beautiful inside fountain (you know, in case you need to make a wish). Happy reading Yelpers!

I'd visited the Orleans library a few weeks prior with Noah K, and wasn't super impressed. I heard there was a second location attached to the Ray Friel Centre, and decided to check it out. I went in with low expectations, but I really loved this library! Attached to the Ray Friel Centre, as mentioned, I bet it's a great spot for families. It was really busy, even at 10 in the morning. I've also worked here around 2 p.m. and it was just as busy then. There's a great computer area here, and lovely section with comfy chairs and a beautiful stone mantle (I think the fireplace is fake though, ha!). There's a dedicated spot for ancestry research, and I noticed the Orleans Historical Society has a meeting room here. They have a fantastic selection of DVD rentals here, and a massive Children's Library. This is a much better location than the other Orleans library, and I absolutely recommend it if you need a quiet place to work, need to do some research, or love to read. As with all Ottawa Public Library locations, you need your library card and pin number to use the wifi.

Its an amazing experience it's calmness peacefulread more
