Columbus Metropolitan Library
Foundation

At our branches, we see friendships blossom all the time! Recently, Parker and Olive, two young children, were spotted chatting excitedly. They met during a library program and have become fast friends. It’s wonderful to see our library community growing and fostering such meaningful connections at every age.

Courtney grew up coming to Columbus Metropolitan Library, so it was only natural to bring her daughter here for her first library card. Welcome to the library, Icy. We are delighted to have you!

Through the library’s partnership with Cristo Rey Columbus High School, Hawa became an intern in the library’s Development office. She has a dream of becoming an attorney and so the Development team made it possible for her to observe a trial and meet legal professionals. These connections led to her current internship with a law firm.

Columbus Metropolitan Library is adding one more point of access for customers: a pop-up library made possible by Battelle. Check out the full story here.

Columbus Metropolitan Library’s School Delivery program and the Parsons Branch visited Stewart Elementary, one of 16 Columbus City Schools served by School Delivery, during teacher conferences. Students received a free take-home book thanks to supporters like you!

This Hilltop Branch customer received help from Spanish-speaking staff at the Community Support Center to file for worker’s compensation. Staff helped him update his resume and create an Indeed profile; he landed some interviews and was offered a position.
