[edit] Library
The Greely branch of the Ottawa Public Library was opened in 1976, after receiving approval from Osgoode Township Council, and the local fire department agreeing to let them use their meeting room for the branch. During the 1990's, the Osgoode Township Library Board received a grant from the Ontario government to build a new branch, but the building never came to fruition. In 2001 following amalgamation, the branch became part of the new Ottawa Public Library, and in 2002, joined the online catalogue service, lirico.
