    I do have a library card, but not for any of the Columbus libraries. LOL I've been in this area before, even walked around the area. But at the time, the library wasn't open because of the pandemic. Now, everyone is back! Lots of parents with kids of all ages. I also saw students studying and adults reading or on laptops. It's not a very big library, but they do have study rooms you can book ahead of time. The upstairs also has lots of sitting areas and tables next to all the windows that have a nice view of the street. Plugs are at each table! Sweet Waters is at the bottoms floor if you want some caffeine! It's a nice library! Not exactly quiet all the time, as I heard a child screaming and crying. It's expected though! Wouldn't mind coming back here to check out books. Parking is pretty easy. There's a parking lot at the back, but there's also a parking garage. Not sure how many levels, but I parked on the second level without much of a problem. It's free too! They do inform over the intercom when they are about to close. We stayed there until they made the announcement! Lots of staff around too. I don't think it would be hard to find help if you needed it!

    large manga section!

    This is probably the cleanest and most spacious library I've ever visited. Not that others I've been to aren't clean and spacious, but this one is just remarkably so. I actually came here for a class assignment, for which I needed to briefly interview a librarian. I wish I caught the name of the librarian I spoke to on the first floor, but she was incredibly sweet and helpful, walking me through various resources for the public, teachers, and students. I came for an assignment but left with information I will truly remember and make use of for my whole career. In addition to helpful staff, this library features an abundance of seating and computers, as well as access to a quiet room and teen-only space. I loved seeing a space reserved for only teens, to keep them safe if they're not accompanied by a parent and build community just for youth. It was full of individuals and groups during my weekend visit. There is also a row of kiosks for self-checkout. This library is truly a gem of Dublin and clearly a vibrant place where community gathers. It was honestly inspiring to see as a book lover and future educator. I would absolutely return here and recommend this library to anyone.

    What a neat library! Both the interior and exterior are really neat to look at. It has three separate levels, with the adult section on top, the kids section in the middle, and meeting rooms and coffee shop on the bottom. We spent most of our time in the kids section, though we did enjoy looking around the rest of the space. The kids space had a neat aquarium, a fun bus structure to play or read in, and a great seating area with huge windows overlooking the street. Small chairs and tables provide plenty of places for kids to look at books. The librarians were very friendly and helpful too. There is plentiful parking in the nearby parking garage, and the library has a great location right near historic Dublin.

    What an amazing upgrade! Nice sleek modern building. It has an easier flow with more cozy reading nooks. The parking is a massive improvement! The bicycle parking is a nice plus. There didn't seem to be many check out stations. The reserves area was small and cramped. Other areas are spacious and open. There are a lot of windows providing lots of natural light.

    I had never visited the Lane Rd or Miller Park branches until one rainy Saturday morning I was…read morelooking for 2 particular books and didn't feel like reserving and waiting. I found them both available at the Lane Rd branch. Cool. I arranged my errands so that I could pick up the books right after it opened. Unfortunately, I didn't find them on the shelves, but a wonderful librarian located one for me, and called the Miller Park branch to put a hold on the other. I went right over to pick it up. The librarians at both branches were very nice and helpful, and I'm glad I got to visit two locations that were new-to-me. Both small with exemplary service.

The kid section is located in the basement, which gives it a nice cozy feeling, with plenty of toys to play with, books, dvds, and music, and several computers available. I loved that they had a picture book binder divided by subject to help you easily locate books that were on topics that were of interest to your children. There are restrooms and a nice meeting room on this level, as well. The upstairs contains adult and young adult options, plus more computers, comfy chairs, and restrooms. As far as size goes, this isn't huge, so if it's vital that you get a certain book, it may be wise to check and see if you need to order it in. This location is larger than Miller Park branch, but smaller than Tremont's. There is a nice sized parking lot and the librarians were very friendly.
