Looking for a great book?
Our used books are among the most reasonably priced in Ottawa.
Feel good knowing your purchase helps to support the Ottawa Public Library, as we raise more than $450,000 every year through the sale of high-quality used books, CDs, and DVDs in our volunteer-run locations across the city. We receive new donations throughout the week, so visit often for great finds.
