=== Information technology ===
The library originally provided [[Windows 95]] computers to use with some preloaded applications such as [[Office 2000]] and [[WordPerfect]]. In January 2005, it upgraded three branches to [[Windows XP]]. The rest received that operating system by April of that year. In March 2014, [[Windows 7]] was rolled out and the software was upgraded to [[Office 2007]], but WordPerfect is now absent.  Children accounts are filtered, while adults have the option of choosing unfiltered or filtered Internet access.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://biblioottawalibrary.ca/archive/preview/p0501.pdf |title=Preview Winter 2005 |access-date=2013-11-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131106083504/http://biblioottawalibrary.ca/archive/preview/p0501.pdf |archive-date=2013-11-06 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Later, they added Wi-Fi hotspots at their branches.

It is also possible to obtain free downloadable e-books, Zinio magazines, audiobooks and MP3 music from the library.
