DUBLIN, Ohio — A large crowd of people gathered Thursday as the Columbus Metropolitan Library cut the ribbon to its new Dublin branch.
This new, 41,000 square foot library is double the size of the former 20,100 square foot branch and has a variety of features including an interactive children's area, a homework help center and a cafe.
The branch also has a “Ready for Kindergarten” area to help preschoolers prepare for school, meeting rooms, a quiet room and public computers that can be reserved.
CML’s goal in its aspirational building program is upgrading seven urban branches (Driving Park, Whitehall, Parsons, Martin Luther King, Northside, Northern Lights, Shepard) and two suburban branches at Dublin and Hilliard.
