Both branches have a variety of passes which will give you free admission to specific attractions. Some passes may require pre-registration before a visit.
Check out a pass for the Canadian Museum of Nature; Science and Technology; Agriculture; Aviation and Space; History; the War Museum; or the National Art Gallery. We also have passes for the Canadian Clock Museum. (The pass for the Ottawa Museum Network is not available at present.)
Borrow a day pass for free admission to Ontario Provincial Parks (overnight stay not included), and go enjoy the beauty of our country. Take a hike, bring along your fishing gear, your bird book or your camera. Borrow one of our loaded Explorer backpacks. It's all free!
Your library card is your key to knowledge and adventure.
