Oxbow Public Library Branch is a charitable organization based in Oxbow, Saskatchewan, classified by the CRA under public amenities.

In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $3,199 in revenue and $38K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
