The Petawawa Public Library serves the dynamic community of Petawawa, and provides services and programs that focus on the recreational, educational, informational and cultural needs of the community. The Charity supports the work of the library to enhance programs, services and collections. 

The library is running a fine-free pilot project into March 2023 as a way to improve access to our collections.  We also aim to provide programming fee-free for our community.
