I love this place. I may be biased because I can walk there from my house, but it really has…read moreeverything a neighborhood library needs - books, magazines, CDs, DVDs, internet-accessible computers, and a children's area with books and puzzles. It's nice that it's connected to the Licking county library system, because they can get pretty much anything that you can request. I get several DVDs and blu-rays per month from here and occasionally check out new music as well. We love bringing out daughters here because the kids' area just feels like home. Our daughters get puzzles out, look at books, and check out a lot of books too! We request things all the time to check out and they're very timely at getting them in. In fact, the staff is awesome. So friendly, they feel like neighbors. Check out their special events on select evenings and in the summer, they have children's events on Tuesdays at 11am. They have story hour on weekdays, but for those of us who work during the day, I sure wish they had story hour in the evenings sometimes (they did it once in May). Check this place out if you are a local!

Visiting, and the library was suggested to take our little one to get out of the heat. The library…read moreis big. Lots of large rooms. One has books, CDs, tapes, and DVDs. The adult books are upstairs. We found the play area. At 5 p.m. only a few children were there and they left. So I recommend to come later. Nice trucks, blocks, magnet toys and play tables are available. Book shelves surround the area. Was nice to see disinfectant wipes around for use. A tree house in another room was a hit. We had heard of a water area, but did not see it. We liked the artwork and stained glass. We were surprised that none of the librarians welcomed us, or asked to help. We didn't ask either. We just followed the signs. Suggest someone check the cleanliness of the restrooms regularly. Patrons were not tidy this day. We will return.

Children are running rapid, climbing over furniture and screaming..... babies having temper, tantrums and adult / staff doing absolutely nothing to correct the issue. Forget about trying to concentrate because that is not happening here. I have been at this location several times, mornings, afternoon and evening, and it's always the same scenario. Even with wax earplugs or EarPods you simply cannot mask the noise level. I've spoken with staff regarding the issue and was told it's normal. After school is out then you're dealing with disrespectful teenagers, sitting around, acting up and being disruptive and claiming all the decent computers just to sit and watch videos or play games. Can't they do this at home so that others can actually utilize the library as it was meant to be used? If the teens have taken up all the adult allowed area ( yes their sections for the age groups ) and there is a free seat elsewhere you NOT allowed to use it unless you have a child with you. If that's not discriminating I don't know what is. Wasted tax dollars at work!!! Would've been cheaper to build a free daycare center elsewhere. While I enjoy the futuristic modern design, the open center is complete wasted space only designed for aesthetic purposes, not useful. And lastly, with all the windows, it is absolutely freezing in the winter time....and yes burning up in the summer. I suggest New Albany library where the youth have respect for their surroundings, unless you're a deadbeat parent needing to pawn your child off on someone else, then the Gahanna library is for you.

K found what she wanted, admired the fish tank, played in the play areas. Very pleasant all around. We are lucky to have a great library system in Franklin County, often rated one of the best in the nation, with many branches, which are being upgraded regularly. Great staff, large selection, easy to reserve. Not to mention the programs and events and electronic offerings. Honestly, one of the centers of the community and a driver of excellence.

They have a really nice section for teens, which was great to see. The meeting room we used was large and well-appointed for large groups. My only complaint isn't against the library itself, but something to note.

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.
