MESSAGE FROM CHAIR
MESSAGE DE LA PRÉSIDENTE
Septembre est un mois spécial. Juste après la fête du Travail, une
fébrilité et une ferveur se font sentir tant chez les enfants que chez
les adultes au fur et à mesure que le temps frais contribue en quelque
sorte à renouveler l’intérêt et la passion que nous avons pour notre
travail.
That excitement can be felt all around the Ottawa
Public Library. September kicks off with a full slate of
branch activities for kids, teens and adults, as well
as system wide programs like Awesome Authors,
Big Wheels and the Kid’s Lit Gala. All this activity and
enthusiasm continues through October Library Month
and into the holiday season, which of course brings
its own excitement. Back to school is the focus of this
issue of Preview and it’s our opportunity to remind
parents that the library provides access to countless
print and online materials, study help, and great
spaces to foster learning - so make sure your child has
the advantage this school year with their own library
card.
Cet enthousiasme est palpable à la Bibliothèque publique d’Ottawa.
Nous entamons le mois de septembre avec un éventail complet
d’activités offertes dans les succursales à l’intention des enfants,
des adolescents et des adultes, ainsi que de programmes menés à
l’échelle du réseau des bibliothèques tels que le concours Supers
auteurs, l’activité Roues géantes et le Gala littéraire pour enfants.
Ce vent d’animation et de fébrilité continue de souffler en octobre, le
Mois des bibliothèques, et jusqu’à la période des Fêtes, qui suscite
en soi toute une excitation joyeuse. Le présent numéro du magazine
En primeur porte principalement sur le retour en classe, et nous
profitons de l’occasion pour rappeler aux parents que la Bibliothèque
offre l’accès à une énorme quantité de documents imprimés et en
ligne, à des programmes d’aide aux devoirs et à d’excellents espaces
propices à l’apprentissage. Alors mettez la chance du côté de
votre enfant cette année en veillant à ce qu’il ait sa propre carte de
bibliothèque.

September is a special month. Right after Labour
Day you can feel the renewed excitement and fervor
from both kids and adults alike as the cool weather
somehow renews our interest and passion for our
work.
Jan Harder, Chair / présidente
That library card will also work in our brand new kiosk
Ottawa Public Library Board / C.A. de
machines located in the foyer of the Hunt Clubla Bibliothèque publique d’Ottawa
Riverside Community Centre. The only ones of their
[email protected]
kind in Canada, these bilingual kiosks, one for children
and one for adults, are a hit in that community and
offer popular, in-demand titles.
Also of note, work continues on the many Infrastructure
Stimulus Fund (ISF) projects for the OPL, like the
recently re-opened Sunnyside branch, renovations to
the Vanier, Cumberland and Alta Vista branches and
the all-new Greely branch, making this a particularly
exciting time for the OPL Board of Directors. More
information on each of these improvements can be
found in this edition of Preview.
Cette carte fonctionnera aussi à nos nouveaux postes de distribution
situés dans le hall du Centre communautaire Hunt Club Riverside.
Uniques en leur genre au Canada, ces postes bilingues, un pour
enfants et l’autre pour adultes, font fureur dans la collectivité et offrent
des titres populaires et recherchés.
Il convient également de signaler que les travaux se poursuivent
dans le cadre des nombreux projets du Fonds de stimulation de
l’infrastructure (FSI) entrepris pour la BPO. Citons notamment la
récente réouverture de la succursale Sunnyside, les rénovations
effectuées aux succursales Vanier, Cumberland et Alta Vista et
la construction de la toute nouvelle succursale Greely. Il s’agit
donc d’une période particulièrement emballante pour le Conseil
d’administration de la BPO. Le présent numéro d’En primeur fournit de
plus amples renseignements sur chacune de ces améliorations.

MESSAGE FROM CITY LIBRARIAN
MESSAGE DE LA BIBLIOTHÉCAIRE MUNICIPALE
Autumn is a time of new beginnings. Classrooms and
homework clubs come to life and special interest programs
and activities resume. As you see in this issue of Preview,
the Ottawa Public Library has programs and workshops for
the whole family during this season. Along with perennial
favourites like book clubs and Storytime, you can explore
hobbies, practice skills and learn new things at the OPL.
OPL invites newcomers to Canada to make the Library
their second home. Whether you’re looking for help as you
prepare for citizenship, start a job search, or practice a
new language, ask a Library Settlement Worker about the
resources and programs available to meet your needs.
Anyone considering new career options will want to check
out Learning Express Library, a free online database
offering a chance to improve job skills and career
prospects. Library staff can help you access tools to help
you improve your writing, reading comprehension and
math skills. If you’ve been curious about whether a career
as an air traffic controller to firefighter is for you, take an
aptitude test. You can even practice tests for licence in
nursing, plumbing, and emergency medical technicians.
Find out more during a free one-on-one tutorial at the
Library.
During Small Business week October 18 - 22, Ottawa’s
business community will gather at the Lunch and Learn
events at the Main Library. People with an entrepreneurial
spirit will be able to network and learn from experts who
will speak on a wide range of topics. Business and Career
Services librarians are available to offer entrepreneurs
up-to-date resources available to Library cardholders.
Visit www.BiblioOttawaLibrary.ca/Business for more
information.
Much of OPL’s work is done in partnership with other
organizations. A new initiative launching this Fall is
Page and Stage, the OPL’s innovative new partnership
with the Great Canadian Theatre Company. OPL librarians
have reviewed the scripts for the GCTC 2010-2011 season
and have recommended books and films to help explore
the themes and ideas raised by the featured playwrights.
Check out the materials recommended by readers’
advisory librarians at www.BiblioOttawaLibrary.ca.
Library Awareness Month takes place all throughout
October. Needless to say, it’s my favourite month of the
year! For information about the activities OPL is planning
during the month, go to page 52.
L’automne est le temps des nouveaux départs. Les salles de classe
et les clubs de devoirs reprennent vie, les programmes et les activités
qui nous intéressent se remettent en marche. Comme vous le
constaterez dans ce numéro d’En primeur, la Bibliothèque publique
d’Ottawa propose cette saison des programmes et des ateliers pour
toute la famille. Vos favoris habituels, comme les clubs de lecture et
les narrations d’histoires, seront de retour et vous pourrez découvrir
des passe-temps, développer vos habiletés et apprendre de nouvelles
choses.
La BPO invite les nouveaux arrivants au Canada à faire de nos
installations leur seconde demeure. Que ce soit pour préparer l’examen
de citoyenneté, rechercher un emploi ou apprendre une nouvelle
langue, nos travailleurs d’établissement connaissent des ressources et
des programmes qui pourront répondre à leurs besoins.
Quiconque envisage de nouvelles options professionnelles pourra
consulter Learning Express Library, une base de données en ligne
gratuite qui vous donne la chance d’améliorer vos compétences et
d’élargir vos horizons professionnels. Le personnel de la bibliothèque
peut vous aider à trouver des outils qui vous aideront à améliorer
vos compétences en écriture, en compréhension en lecture et en

communauté des gens d’affaires d’Ottawa se réunira lors des déjeunesateliers organisés à la Bibliothèque centrale. Ceux qui ont l’esprit
entrepreneurial pourront réseauter et apprendre auprès des experts
présents, qui aborderont de très nombreux sujets. Les bibliothécaires
aux services aux affaires et carrières sont disponibles toute l’année
pour offrir aux entrepreneurs titulaires d’une carte de la bibliothèque des
ressources actualisées. Consultez www.BiblioOttawaLibrary.ca/Affaires

Une grande partie des projets de la BPO sont réalisés en partenariat
avec d’autres organisations. Page and Stage est le tout dernier de ces
projets lancés cet automne, dans le cadre d’un nouveau partenariat
novateur entre la BPO et la Great Canadian Theatre Company. Les
bibliothécaires de la BPO ont revu les textes des spectacles de la
saison 2010-2011 de la GCTC et ont ainsi pu recommander des livres et
des films permettant de découvrir les thèmes et les idées soulevés par
les dramaturges en vedette lors de la saison qui s’annonce. Consultez
les ouvrages recommandés par nos bibliothécaires spécialisés en
orientation de lecture, à l’adresse www.BiblioOttawaLibrary.ca.

BOARD HIGHLIGHTS
Equipment Purchase Approval
The Board approved the purchase of self-checkout equipment, security gates,
and circulation equipment as a part of the Board’s approved renovation projects.
These upgrades will take place at the Sunnyside, Alta Vista, Vanier and Greely
branches.
Library Book Rate
Federal private member’s bill C-509, sponsored by MP Merv Tweed from
Manitoba, is crucial to protecting library services that benefits all Canadians. If
the bill does not pass and Canada Post raises its rates for Library materials, the
OPL could see a significant increase in expenditures. On May 10, 2010 the OPL
Board unanimously supported a motion in support of continuance of the library
book rate and its expansion to other media. The Board approved that the Chair
of the OPL Board write a letter to Federal MP’s to support Bill C-509, an Act to
amend the Canada Post Corporation Act (library materials).
Kiosk Launch
The launch of OPL’s first self-serve kiosk at the Riverside Hunt Club community
centre was held on May 7 and was very successful.
Order of Friendship Awards
On June 14, 2010 the OPL Board presented the following individuals with the
Ottawa Public Library Order of Friendship: Michel Lavoie, J.C. Sulzenko, Ian
Roy and Brenda Chapman in recognition of outstanding volunteer assistance
in serving as judges for the Awesome Authors contest, and to Lori Nash in
recognition of her long time commitment to advocacy and support of the Ottawa
Public Library.
Vanier Branch Construction Tender Approval
The Board approved that the construction contract for the Vanier Branch be
awarded to Serge Zimola Construction. The purpose of this project is to make
the Vanier Branch accessible through the installation of an elevator and other
required renovations. This project is funded through the Federal-Provincial
Infrastructure Stimulus Funding (ISF) Program.
Greely Branch Construction Tender Approval
The Board approved that the contract for the new Greely Branch be awarded to
Magna Construction. The purpose of this project is to replace the existing 946
square foot branch, located in a former Fire Hall, with a new 3,000 square foot
facility attached to the existing Greely Community Centre at 1448 Meadow Drive.
This project is funded through the Federal-Provincial Infrastructure Stimulus
Funding (ISF) Program.
Groundbreaking ceremony for new Greely Library Branch
On June 17, 2010, Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod joined OPL Board Chair
Councillor Jan Harder, Councillor Doug Thompson and guests in celebrating the
beginning of construction of a new Library branch for the community of Greely.
Alta Vista Branch Construction Tender Approval
The Board approved that the construction for the Alta Vista Branch be awarded
to PCS General Contractors. The purpose of this project is to renovate the main
floor of the branch and the meeting space in the basement. This project is being
funded through the Federal-Provincial Infrastructure Stimulus Funding (ISF)
Program.
CLA/3M Canada Award for Achievement in Technical Services 2010
On May 17, 2010 the Ottawa Public Library (OPL) was announced as the 2010
winner of the CLA/3M Canada Award for Achievement in Technical Services, for
its project “New Cataloguing Strategy for World Languages Material”.

Approbation de l’achat d’équipement
Le Conseil a approuvé l’achat de matériel pour le service de prêt express, de
barrières de sécurité et d’équipement pour les comptoirs de prêt dans le cadre
des projets de rénovation pour lesquels il a donné son aval. Ces améliorations
seront apportées aux succursales Sunnyside, Alta Vista, Vanier et Greely.
Tarif des livres de bibliothèque
Le projet de loi fédéral d’initiative parlementaire C 509, parrainé par le
député Merv Tweed du Manitoba, est essentiel pour protéger les services de
bibliothèque qui profitent à toutes les Canadiennes et à tous les Canadiens. S’il
n’est pas adopté et que la Société canadienne des postes hausse ses tarifs pour
les documents de bibliothèque, les dépenses de la BPO pourraient augmenter
considérablement. Le 10 mai 2010, les membres du Conseil d’administration de
la BPO ont appuyé à l’unanimité une motion visant à appuyer le maintien du tarif
des livres de bibliothèque et à l’appliquer à d’autres supports. Ils ont approuvé
que la présidente du Conseil d’administration de la BPO écrive au député fédéral
pour lui signifier son appui à l’égard du projet de loi C 509, Loi modifiant la Loi
sur la Société canadienne des postes (documents de bibliothèque).
Lancement du poste
Le premier poste libre service de la BPO a été inauguré le 7 mai au Centre
communautaire Hunt Club Riverside et connaît un franc succès.
Médailles de l’amitié
Le 14 juin 2010, le Conseil d’administration de la BPO a décerné la Médaille de
l’amitié de la Bibliothèque publique d’Ottawa à Michel Lavoie, à J.C. Sulzenko,
à Ian Roy et à Brenda Chapman pour souligner le travail bénévole exceptionnel
qu’ils ont accompli à titre de juges pour le concours Super auteurs. Lori Nash
s’est également vu accorder cet honneur pour son engagement de longue date
envers la Bibliothèque publique d’Ottawa et son appui indéfectible à celle-ci.
Approbation de la soumission pour les travaux de construction de la
succursale Vanier
Le Conseil d’administration a approuvé l’adjudication du contrat de construction
pour la succursale Vanier à l’entreprise Serge Zimola Construction. Le projet
vise à améliorer l’accessibilité de l’installation grâce à l’ajout d’un ascenseur et à
la réalisation d’autres travaux de rénovation qui s’imposent. Il est financé par le
programme fédéral provincial du Fonds de stimulation de l’infrastructure (FSI).
succursale Greely
Le Conseil d’administration a approuvé l’adjudication du contrat de construction
de la succursale Greely à l’entreprise Magna Construction. Le projet consiste à
remplacer la succursale existante de 946 pieds carrés, située dans un ancien
poste d’incendie, par une nouvelle installation de 3 000 pieds carrés annexée
au Centre communautaire de Greely, qui se trouve au 1448 de la promenade
Meadow. Il est financé par le programme fédéral provincial du Fonds de
stimulation de l’infrastructure (FSI)
Levée de la première pelletée de terre de la nouvelle succursale de la BPO
à Greely
Le 17 juin 2010, Lisa MacLeod, députée provinciale de Nepean Carleton, la
conseillère Jan Harder, présidente du Conseil d’administration de la BPO, le
conseiller Doug Thompson et des invités se sont réunis pour souligner le début
des travaux de construction d’une nouvelle succursale de la Bibliothèque pour la
collectivité de Greely.
Prix d’excellence CLA/3M pour une réalisation remarquable dans les
services techniques
Le 17 mai 2010, la Bibliothèque publique d’Ottawa (BPO) s’est vu remettre le
Prix d’excellence CLA/3M pour une réalisation remarquable dans les services
techniques de 2010 pour son projet de nouvelle stratégie de catalogage des
ouvrages de langue étrangère.
Succursale Cumberland
Le 8 juin 2010, la succursale Cumberland fraîchement rénovée a rouvert ses
portes au public. Le 24 juin, la BPO a donné une réception pour remercier
ses clients de leur patience pendant la durée des travaux. Le député fédéral
d’Ottawa Orléans, Royal Galipeau, les conseillers municipaux Rob Jellett et Bob
Monette, de même que Bernard Clavel, membre du Conseil d’administration de
la BPO, se sont joints à la collectivité pour célébrer la réouverture officielle de la
succursale.
succursale Alta Vista
Le Conseil d’administration a approuvé que l’adjudication du contrat de
construction pour la succursale Alta Vista à l’entreprise PCS General
Contractors. Le projet consiste à rénover le rez de chaussée de la succursale
et l’aire de réunion située au sous sol. Il est financé par le programme fédéral
provincial du Fonds de stimulation de l’infrastructure (FSI).

OPL FOUNDATION/FONDATION DE LA BPO
Well, it’s back to school again. I hope you had some time to relax this summer, and
read plenty of books that you picked up at your local OPL branch. Now, the push is
on to get the kids ready for classes – lots of preparations to take care of. Don’t forget
to pack their Library cards with their school supplies!
C’est encore une fois la période du retour en classe. J’espère que vous avez pu vous
détendre cet été et lire une foule de livres empruntés à la succursale de la BPO près
de chez vous. Il faut maintenant s’empresser de préparer les enfants pour le retour à
l’école. N’oubliez pas d’ajouter leur carte de bibliothèque à leurs fournitures scolaires!
The Foundation uses the summer months to prepare as well – gearing up for the fall,
and the start of another fundraising year.
La Fondation profite elle aussi de l’été pour se préparer en prévision de l’automne et
du début d’une autre campagne de financement.
We’ve just completed a very important strategic planning exercise, which will help
us focus our energies on those activities, which will advance our mission more
effectively.
Nous venons tout juste de terminer un exercice de planification stratégique de haute
importance, ce qui nous aidera à canaliser notre énergie sur les activités qui nous
permettront de remplir notre mission plus efficacement.
For the next five years (2010 to 2015), the Ottawa Public Library Foundation will
concentrate on:
Raising awareness about OPL among Ottawans, and building commitment to
•
supporting its programs and services;
Creating a Foundation that is sustainable, with policies in place, and an
•
infrastructure that generates greater donations;
•
Building our donor and contact base;
•
Enhancing our Board of Directors, to better respond to the needs of the OPL,
and the community, and
•
Strengthening our partnerships with community leaders, and all of our
stakeholders, including Library patrons and supporters.
Pour les cinq prochaines années (de 2010 à 2015), la Fondation de la Bibliothèque
publique d’Ottawa se concentrera sur les objectifs suivants :
•
Renseigner les résidents d’Ottawa au sujet de la BPO et les encourager à
appuyer les programmes et services qu’elle offre;
Bâtir une fondation solide et durable, instaurer des politiques et mettre en place
•
une infrastructure qui incitera les gens à verser davantage de dons;
•
Élargir notre bassin de donateurs et de personnes ressources;
•
Renforcer notre conseil d’administration afin qu’il puisse mieux répondre aux
besoins de la BPO et de la collectivité;
•
Consolider nos partenariats avec des chefs de file communautaires et tous les
intervenants avec lesquels nous traitons, y compris les clients et les bailleurs de
fonds de la Bibliothèque.
Armed with these strategic priorities, the Foundation hopes to encourage more
people to invest in our community, by making a gift to the Library. Every dollar counts
and even a small gift – when put together with other contributions – can make a huge
difference.
As always, we hope that you’ll continue to support the Library, through your donations
and attendance at our annual literary evening in November which promises to be our
best event ever. See the ad below to read more about Great Cities…Great Libraries.
All the best,
Howard Whittaker
Chair, OPL Foundation /
Président de la Fondation de la BPO
Forte de ces priorités stratégiques, la Fondation espère inciter un plus grand nombre
de personnes à investir dans notre collectivité en faisant un don à la Bibliothèque.
Chaque dollar compte et même les petites contributions peuvent, une fois combinées,
avoir des effets considérables.
Comme toujours, nous espérons que vous continuerez d’appuyer la Bibliothèque
en versant des dons et en assistant à notre soirée littéraire annuelle qui aura lieu
en novembre et qui promet d’être encore meilleure que par les années passées.
L’annonce ci dessous vous permettra d’en apprendre davantage sur « Villes
dynamiques... Bibliothèques dynamiques ».
Sincères salutations,

OPL FRIENDS/AMIS DE LA BPO
As autumn arrives and students return to class, once again we look forward to
continuing our support of OPL’s Every Kid a Card campaign. The goal of the
campaign is to increase the number of school children with library cards. A library
card opens the door to a wealth of educational resources as well as a world of
discovery for children.
À l’approche de la saison automnale et du retour en classe, nous avons encore
une fois hâte de renouveler notre appui à la campagne À chaque enfant sa
carte, laquelle vise à accroître le nombre d’écoliers qui possèdent une carte de
bibliothèque. Cet abonnement ouvre aux enfants la porte à un riche éventail de
ressources éducatives et à un monde de découverte.
A welcoming and inviting space that sparks the imagination and inspires learning
is important to engage children. Since there isn’t always room in library budgets
for children’s areas, the Friends and the Foundation work with the library to make
family-friendly community gathering places. For example, we recently donated
money for kid-sized tables and chairs at the Rideau branch.
Un endroit accueillant et invitant qui stimule l’imagination et favorise l’apprentissage
est important pour donner aux enfants le goût d’acquérir des connaissances.
Comme le budget de la Bibliothèque ne permet pas toujours d’aménager des
aires destinées aux enfants, l’Association des amis et la Fondation travaillent en
collaboration avec celle ci pour créer des lieux de rassemblement communautaires
qui tiennent compte des besoins des familles. Par exemple, nous avons récemment
fait un don pour l’achat de tables et de chaises pour enfants à la succursale
Rideau.
One of my favourite fundraising projects is the annual creation and sale of the potpourri anthology. While book sales raise money for Friends projects, an important
function of the publication is to allow youth across Ottawa to expand literacy skills,
explore creative writing and share diverse experiences. The 2009 edition was so
successful it was recognized with an Ottawa Citizen Literacy Foundation Grant.
Details on ordering your copy of pot-pourri 2010 are available on our website,
www.OttawaPublicLibraryFriends.ca.
Don’t forget to encourage your favourite budding writer to enter OPL’s Awesome
Authors contest, sponsored by the Friends. You may see the youth’s work in the
2011 anthology!
In October, before the municipal elections, watch our website for the Love our
Libraries 2010 campaign. We’re working with the Foundation to tell you where
candidates stand on library priorities.
As you can see, there are many ways to continue supporting and enjoying the
library throughout the coming months. Happy autumn reading, friends.
L’une de mes initiatives de financement préférées est la création et la vente
annuelles de l’anthologie pot pourri. Cette publication, dont la vente procure
des fonds pour les projets des Amis de la Bibliothèque, a l’importante fonction
de permettre aux jeunes de partout à Ottawa d’améliorer leurs compétences en
lecture, d’explorer la création littéraire et de faire part de diverses expériences
à d’autres. L’édition de 2009 a connu un si grand succès qu’elle a obtenu une
subvention de la Fondation d’alphabétisation de l’Ottawa Citizen. Vous trouverez
les détails sur la façon de commander votre exemplaire du recueil pot pourri de
2010 sur notre site Web, www.OttawaPublicLibraryFriends.ca.
N’oubliez pas d’encourager les écrivains en herbe à s’inscrire au concours Super
auteurs de la BPO, commandité par l’Association des amis. Les oeuvres des
jeunes pourraient se retrouver dans le recueil de 2011!
En octobre, avant les élections municipales, consultez notre site Web pour
connaître les détails de la campagne Pour l’amour de nos bibliothèques de
2010. Nous travaillons avec la Fondation pour vous communiquer la position des
candidats sur les priorités de la Bibliothèque.
Comme vous pouvez le constater, les mois à venir offrirons de nombreuses façons
de continuer d’appuyer la Bibliothèque et de profiter de ses services. Bonne lecture
cet automne, chers amis!

Hunt Club/Riverside Kiosk pilot project
proves popular
Le poste mis à l’essai à Hunt Club Riverside
s’avère tout un succès
Residents of the Hunt Club/Riverside area appear to be enjoying access to library
service right in their community. Since the launch of the pilot project in April, the
kiosk has dispensed over 2,000 items for children
and adults. Recent articles in the Ottawa Citizen
and the Toronto Star highlight the OPL Kiosk as a
unique way to deliver service to areas that do not
have a permanent library building, and as a needed
boost to promoting literacy in the community. The
Toronto Public Library is considering following
OPL’s lead by installing a kiosk at Union Station to
serve city commuters.
Les résidents du secteur Hunt Club Riverside semblent être ravis de pouvoir
accéder au service de bibliothèque dans leur collectivité même. Depuis son
installation à titre d’essai en avril, le poste a permis
de distribuer plus de 2 000 livres à des enfants et
à des adultes. Dans des articles récemment parus
dans l’Ottawa Citizen et le Toronto Star, le concept
est décrit comme un moyen unique d’assurer
la prestation de services dans les secteurs qui
ne disposent pas de bibliothèque permanente
et comme un coup de pouce nécessaire pour
promouvoir la lecture dans la collectivité. La Toronto
Public Library envisage de suivre l’exemple de la
BPO en installant un poste semblable à la gare
Union à l’intention des utilisateurs du transport en
commun.
The Ottawa Public Library (OPL) Kiosk is a vending
machine style kiosk that dispenses popular
library materials to OPL cardholders and offers a
convenient way to enjoy library services on the go.
This innovative pilot project is located at the newlyexpanded Hunt Club/Riverside Community Centre
and will be considered for implementation in other
areas of the city in the future.
Le poste de la Bibliothèque publique d’Ottawa (BPO)
est en quelque sorte une machine distributrice
qui offre des ouvrages populaires aux détenteurs
d’une carte de bibliothèque et leur fournit une façon
pratique de profiter des services de bibliothèque
au passage. Ce poste novateur est situé au Centre
communautaire Hunt Club-Riverside récemment
agrandi, et on songe à en mettre de semblables en
place dans d’autres secteurs dans l’avenir.

FEATURES/NOUVELLES
Improving our buildings – For today and tomorrow
The Ottawa Public Library continues to improve its branches to better serve patrons. Thanks to $4.275-million in federal,
provincial and municipal stimulus funding, visitors to some branches are now enjoying renovated buildings. Others are looking
forward to exciting enhancements to their branches. Whether or not they are part of the stimulus funding process, future
building projects will continue to be a top priority for OPL.
Projects that have been completed:
Cumberland branch
The Cumberland branch reopened to the public June 8 and
on Saturday, June 26, OPL hosted a gathering to thank
patrons for their patience during the renovation period.
Sunnyside branch
On August 16, the Sunnyside branch reopened after a
lengthy period of renovation. With the improvements
completed, popular children’s programs and adult
programming are in full swing in the enhanced facility.
Projects underway:
Greely branch
Ground was broken on Tuesday, June 22 at the site of the
new Greely branch. In the spring of 2011, residents of the area will be enjoying a spacious facility that will satisfy
the needs of the community for years to come.
Vanier branch
A $0.75-million renovation of the Vanier branch began on June 28 and will be completed this Fall. The
renovations, which will improve the accessibility, include a new elevator, reconfigured entranceway and improved borrower services counter.
Alta Vista branch
A $0.75-million renovation of most public areas of the Alta Vista branch, beginning on September 7, will include a reconfigured entranceway, expanded community
meeting rooms, children’s area renovation, self-checkout service, 24/7 external book returns, a new borrower services counter and information services desk, new
accessible washrooms, new flooring and repainting.
Future projects:
West District Library
The west end of the city is a top priority to be provided a new library facility. It is recommended that a
30,000 sq ft. district library be built in the Kanata area by 2012. The future West District Library branch
will be located on City of Ottawa owned property in Kanata Town Centre.

Améliorer nos immeubles – Pour aujourd’hui et demain
La Bibliothèque publique d’Ottawa continue d’améliorer ses succursales pour mieux servir ses clients. Grâce à des fonds
de relance de 4 275 000 $ provenant des paliers fédéral, provincial et municipal, certaines succursales offrent maintenant
des immeubles rénovés à leurs visiteurs. Les usagers de certaines autres installations attendent avec impatience que des
améliorations intéressantes soient apportées à leurs succursales. Bien que les projets de construction futurs ne fassent pas
partie du processus de financement de relance, ils continueront de figurer au sommet des priorités de la BPO.
Projets achevés :
Succursale Cumberland
La succursale Cumberland a rouvert ses portes au public le 8 juin et, le samedi
26 juin, la BPO a donné une réception pour remercier ses usagers de leur
patience pendant la durée des travaux de rénovation.
Succursale Sunnyside
Le 16 août, la succursale Sunnyside a rouvert ses portes après une longue
période de rénovation. Les améliorations désormais achevées, les programmes
populaires pour enfants et pour adultes battent leur plein dans l’installation
rénovée.
Projets en cours :
Succursale Greely
La levée de la première pelletée de terre au chantier de la succursale Greely a eu lieu le mardi
22 juin. Au printemps prochain, les résidents du secteur disposeront d’une installation spacieuse
qui répondra à leurs besoins pour de nombreuses années à venir.
Succursale Vanier
Un projet de rénovation de la succursale Vanier, de l’ordre de 750 000 $, a été mis en branle le 28 juin et sera achevé à l’automne. Les travaux, qui accroîtront
l’accessibilité des locaux, comprendront l’installation d’un nouvel ascenseur, le réaménagement de l’entrée et l’amélioration du comptoir de prêt.
Succursale Alta Vista
Ce projet de 750 000 $, qui débutera le mardi 7 septembre, consistera à rénover la plupart des espaces publics et comprendra les travaux suivants : réaménagement de
l’entrée, agrandissement des salles de réunion communautaires, rénovation de la section pour enfants, mise en place de postes de prêt express, installation de postes
extérieurs de retour des livres accessibles en tout temps, renouvellement des comptoirs de prêt et d’information, aménagement de nouvelles salles de bain accessibles,
remplacement du revêtement de sol et application d’une couche de peinture fraîche.
Projet à venir :
Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements au
sujet de toutes les rénovations apportées
aux installations de la BPO, rendez-vous à
www.BiblioOttawaLibrary.ca/fr/main/about/library/new.
Succursale du district Ouest
Il est prioritaire que l’ouest de la ville puisse disposer d’une nouvelle bibliothèque. On recommande
de construire une bibliothèque de district de 30 000 pi2 à Kanata d’ici 2012. La future succursale du
district Ouest sera située sur une propriété appartenant à la Ville d’Ottawa au centre ville de Kanata.
