Did you know your Ottawa Public Library (OPL) card can unlock more than books? It can even get you… a musical instrument.
That’s right!
At OPL, we believe curiosity takes many forms, and creativity deserves room to grow. That’s why our Musical Instrument Lending Library lets you borrow everything from ukuleles to digital pianos, acoustic and electric guitars, violins, cellos, and percussion instruments—completely free with your library card.
Whether you’re a beginner, a seasoned performer, or simply curious to try something new, the library is your backstage pass to a world of sound.
These instruments are available at four of our branches: Main, Nepean Centrepointe, Cumberland, and Greenboro.
Ready to tune up, try something new, or explore music with your family? Borrowing an instrument is as simple as borrowing a book.
No library card? No probs! Get a free card online or at your local branch.
