Most of the libraries in Columbus have more or less the same kind of books but this branch have the best staff...most of them are very friendly but still the grumpiest librarian here knows its job and is ready to help with ANY inquires you may have.
Excellent Staff.. very well thought out and executed Summer Reading program..
Well organized and never too crowded. This might be my favorite of the Columbus Public Libraries.
Easily the best branch of CML in all of Columbus! Even the current temporary location is super awesome! The staff and volunteers are simply the best around! They do an amazing summer reading challenge for ALL AGES!! Make sure to stop by and check it out!!
A great feeling library. Open feel, many computers, and helpful staff!
We love the story time, they have a great younger man who conducts story time with vigor and enthusiasm! They have a large children's section with lots of computers with great games.
My favorite section is the magazine room which i use for quiet study, and access to the internet.
They also have a great selection of books written in Russian, Korean, Spanish, etc.
Love the staff, they are always so nice and helpful.
Once in a while they have issues with their printers, so I would suggest saving your work to a thumb drive, or e-mailing to your e-mail, because it might not print, maybe about 1% of the time.
I love the Dublin branch. So helpful no matter what I need. And I've received fantastic recommendations in terms of the whole, "If I liked this book, what others would I like?" They've never steered me wrong!
A huge number of books, nice kids section, many computers to use
I have been here close to 20 times and finding a table and seating has been a struggle almost every single time. There is a lot of room for more tables, and they are definitely needed. It gets awkward when people stand next to you for a table. Staff is kind, library is beautiful.
Reading is the food for our brains! And this library is rich of good books. Almost found everything I was looking for.
We love toddler story time at the Dublin branch! This is an awesome library and the librarians are wonderful with kids! They have a good selection of adult books too!
It is bright and open which looks great as you walk in. There is a huge area for little kids to read with parents. The staff is very friendly, always willing to help. I work from home and when the family gets a little too excited I can work in one of the rooms or overlooking the river/downtown. I live a little over half a mile from this place and walk my daughter there almost once a week. I couldn't be more happy with it
The staff is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly.
This place is amazing! Cafe coming soon in the lowest level. Every desk has outlet for regular plugs and USB. Great place to work or to study, bring headphones if you don't wanna hear kids though. I am especially impressed and thankful to the cleaning team. He literally came by after every person left and sanitizer everything from table top to the chairs and tables leg! Lot of space for kids to run around. Plenty of parking in the garage.
The quiet room in the back is a perfect place to study. If you are early enough to get the table in the back right side of the quiet study room you won't be directly under any of the vents. This is a wonderful local library
absolutely terrible. the manager is extremely rude and racist.
This library is fantastic. The new building is very nice, but instead of dark and cozy like the old building, this is airy and bright. The free parking garage next door is super convenient, and with all the new restaurants and the bridge nearby, there are plenty of places to go to or from the library, too.
Nice people to help you find books that you want to check out.
Not a very good library in regards to basic functionality that a library is supposed to serve. I was apalled to find out they only had 10 computers for public use. This is a waste of building space in Dublin, the previous library they tore down was so much better in all aspects.
Great and friendly staff. The home work help center is great for the kids.They help with reading, math
No news yet. This is where the business shares its own updates and press.
