COLUMBUS—In celebration of Columbus Metropolitan Library’s (CML) 150th birthday, OhioHealth and the library have partnered to gift 150th birthday-themed items to babies born at OhioHealth Grant Medical Center the week of March 4.
Families that welcome newborns at Grant between March 4-11 will receive the following:

“Celebrating our birthday with the next generation of readers on their birth day makes this milestone more special,” said library CEO Patrick Losinski. “We hope all of central Ohio joins us for even more festivities throughout the year.”
