Carnegie family designed this Library . It's a huge facility and might be fun to check out the neighborhood its in. Discovery District is historic and boasts large mansions.
Great place for families and playdates. I always take my son here. We’re both avid readers. We leave with a ton of books in are tote bags. They have great summer programs, too.
The Columbus library system has been ranked number one in the country . There are 3 floors where you can access the free wi-fi with a decent amount of tables and chairs to work from.
The library has always been a great source of knowledge and wonder. I can always find what I’m looking for.
We are so lucky to have access to such an amazing library system in Central Ohio. The remodel is fantastic. Great work!
