    This is a nice suburban library. Thanks to a partnership with other libraries in Ohio and the Columbus Metropolitan area, if what you're looking for is not a holding here, chances are you might be able to find it through an inter library loan. Ask a librarian for more information on how to perform a search and make a request - it's super simple. Grandview Heights Public Library has a nice amount of electronic material to access, including audio books, movies, and music. Check the photos here for a look. One of my favorite things about this facility is that they have meeting rooms to use for civic & club activities - just check with staff on how to sign up. Among other great offerings are special music programs on the lawn and in the atrium throughout the year. The parking lot is a bit small and hosts a drive thru pickup booth which takes up some spaces. But, you'll find parking on the street as well so parking shouldn't be a big problem.

    I LOVE this library! In the past, I have patronized the Grandview Library for it's fabulous selection of offbeat movies and music, but have recently developed a new found appreciation for some of their services... YES- the library's layout is user-friendly. YES- its holdings are extensive. YES- there's wi-fi. YES - the staff is super-duper friendly and approachable. But there's more.... In my ongoing plight to find quiet spaces in which to hunker down and write, I discovered their four glorious "Meeting Rooms." The sound-proofed cubicles are free to the public on a first-come, first-serve basis and can accomodate four people (cozily!) with outlets, wi-fi, dry erase boards, and enough space to spread out and take care of business. I hate to give my secret away, but I'd be doing a disservice to those of you who really want to get some work done! Next, the Grandview Library was one of the few places that maintained electricity during a massive power outage last month. The library was wonderfully accomodating in allowing people to charge their electronic devices. Patrons were camped out all over the library, charding cell phones and computers and iPods... I even monopolized four outlets at once! Finally, I have always been aware of the library's youth/ adult programming, but experienced it first hand this past year. Interesting speakers, movies, educational lectures and art classes are on the calender. Summertime brings a free music series held outside on the lawn on certain weeknights. It attracts quite the draw... These special extras along with the laid back staff and clientele gives the Grandview Library a unqiue, appealing vibe. I'm a huge fan!

    Local playground...I mean atrium of library.

    This library's design is unique to others I have seen, in that its interior is kind of space age modern. It feels like you are walking into a small multi-officed medical building or a very miniture mall. From front door to back runs a atrium the length of the building as angular ramps to the sides connect upper rooms. The rooms act like seperate stores in this mall, divided by media, and reference, all the typical library functions are here. Downstairs is the area for children. Working space on the walk-in is limited. There is ample seating in the atrium but the echoey noise of patrons entering--and host of children which seem to hang out here after school-- renders it undesirable. On the scond floor are public computers but little seating for wi-fi users. There are a scatter of seats in the room front of the computers, but they are among bookcases and displays which makes it a bit awkward to study, ect.They do rent rooms to use, which are behind space age shape glass in front of some seating which makes one feel like an exhibitions in a zoo. Smaller, though with ample resources, it seems very clean and organized. The wild design is a nice change. Parking in the back: enter at Ashland Ave, exit off Oakland FYI.

    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.

It is one of the smaller locations, but has a small parking lot and is bright and sunny. Not long ago, it was fully renovated which is great. The library staff and volunteers are friendly. I stopped in to pick prizes for the Summer Reading Challenge and everyone was helpful and kind. With this location being where it is, sometimes you may find unhoused people or some people with mental health issues. I'm not throwing any shade, just making people aware.

There definitely aren't many physical books on the shelves in this branch, but you can always request some from other branches to pick up here. It definitely feels like more of a community space/resource than a place to get books, which is pretty typical for libraries these days. My only complaint is that the after-hours book drop-off slot is in the back of the building by the parking lot. I walked around the whole building trying to find it and there were quite a few people hanging out in the parking lot where the drop slot is located - I had to step around someone setting up their place to sleep, which was awkward. It would be nice to have a book slot in the font of the building for people who are walking up to the library.
