The library of the Canadian Parliament is also housed in a beautiful Victorian building. Also, it is currently being partially restored.

The Library of Parliament (French: Bibliothèque du Parlement) is the main information repository and research resource for the Parliament of Canada. The main branch of the library sits at the rear of the Centre Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario, and is the last untouched part of that larger building's original incarnation after it burned down in 1916. The library has been augmented and renovated a number of times since its construction in 1876, the last between 2002 and 2006, though the form and decor remain essentially authentic. The building today serves as a Canadian icon, and appears on the obverse of the Canadian ten-dollar bill.

The library is overseen by the Parliamentary Librarian of Canada and an associate or assistant librarian. The Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate and the Parliamentary Budget Officer are also considered to be officers of the library.

The Library of Parliament is the legislative library of the Parliament of Canada. Created by the Act respecting the Library of Parliament in 1871, it is used by legislators for their research and information analysis needs. The library's collections and services are distributed among several branches located in the various parliamentary buildings in Canada's National Capital Region. Its historic headquarters opened in 1876 and still in operation is located at the back of the Center Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario. The last vestige of the original parliamentary complex destroyed by a fire on February 3, 1916, the library is a national symbol of Canada and, as such, appears on the reverse side of the Canadian $ 10 bills.
