Offer a range of social services (counselling and support services) in English and French to all residents of Ottawa. Counselling services are provided to children (6-12) and adolescents, adults, couples and families. Use ext. 0 when you call.
The Ottawa Trans Library houses a collection of books by trans authors, as well as historical, important and interesting works on trans issues and people. You can browse the collection online here. In addition to the lending collection, there is a free library of books unrelated to trans issues.
We are a social space in addition to being a library. You don’t need to borrow a book. Oppressed people have always needed spaces where they can be safe, gather, meet new people and talk. We have reading stations and tables for studying or socializing. Come enjoy a free coffee, browse the collection, or just swing by to say hello!
