It’s been a long time coming, but the wait is finally over!
Over a year ago the Columbus Metropolitan Library Main Branch shut its doors to begin the remodeling process. Already it was the most beautiful library I had ever visited and I couldn’t imagine what type of work would go into this new construction to make it even better. It took over a year between the time the doors were locked and the reopen on June 25. Sadly, we were in England for the grand reopening, but earlier this week we were able to make the twenty minute trip to investigate all of the improvements for ourselves.
The good news is that it is still the same awesome library we said good-bye to last summer. The even better news is that it is now easier to navigate than before.
There are three floors:
Floor #1– Returns, Customer Service, Children’s Books, Gift Shop, Coffee Shop, indoor/outdoor seating
Floor #2– Audio books, Adult Fiction, Teen Fiction, Reading Room over looking a scenic park
Floor #3– Non-Fiction, Reference Materials, Meeting Rooms
All three floors are clean, spacious, and open. The grand atrium is breathtaking. And most of the place is lit completely by natural sunlight. Here is a look at some snapshots we took during our family trip to the Columbus Metropolitan Library Main Branch.
