Ottawa Library has been in existence since March 1872 when fifteen members of the Ladies’ Reading Club decided to establish their club “on a boarder basis” and nine of those ladies paid $1.00 in dues. It is an honor to carry on their legacy. Ottawa Library proudly serves a population of approximately 12,500 people in the town of Ottawa, Kansas.
The Ottawa Library staff and Board of Trustees are committed to providing our community with materials, services, public spaces, programming, activities, and events that will bring value and education to their individual and their family’s lives. Libraries have always been on the cusp of the great transformation of our world changes and continue to evolve to meet those changes and the desires of our communities.
Our Mission
Ottawa Library is a community library that links everyone to free educational, informational, and entertainment resources through responsive, quality service that supports lifelong learning.
