The Ottawa Public Library is receiving a major gift amounting to $750,000 to support the new central library and joint facility with Library and Archives Canada , Ādisōke.
The money will be used to fund, in part, the restoration and installation in Ādisōke of several OPL public art pieces, such as the stained-glass window from OPL’s main branch on Metcalfe Street, which honours literature, writers and readers, serving as the “only remaining piece of the original Carnegie-funded library that opened in Ottawa in 1906,” FOPLA says.
