As far as libraries go this is one of my least favorite visits…read more The book drop is almost hidden from view as a first timer, I needed to ask where to drop off my books. The kids section has a nice open space to do reading times but it is not a separate room so checking out books during a reading time could be distracting. The library is not very large and is not aesthetically pleasing. I felt like they crammed the books in to as much space as possible. The private parking lot was full as was much of the open spots around the building. A few positives are the amount of comfortable seats in this place. The staff is very friendly and there is street parking right outside the front door. It seems Grove City needs to build a bigger library for the growth of the city. I was a little shocked at how small it was. This space just felt crammed.

If I could, I'd live in a library. There's just so much potential there. But the Hilltop Branch of…read morethe Columbus Metropolitan Library is so sad. It's a beautiful building outside and in. The outside has a simple architectural design but shoddy landscaping. The inside has tall, peaked ceilings; tall, thick display shelves; and an old-time check-out counter with spiraled wooden rails. The sad thing about this library is that there are hardly any books. I walked down aisle upon aisle of half-stocked or one-third stocked shelves. I even saw entirely empty shelves, lots of them. The books that are there outdated or plain out boring. The multi-media check-out section barely exists. It broke my heart to be in this place. I went around 5p, when a bunch of bustling low-income kids were hanging out. All of them were waiting to sit at one of the many computer terminals. I'm glad Hilltop has lots of computer stations, but I don't want the library to become a place to go just for free internet service. I did see a large room where homework help was happening. There were a few tutors milling around but only about two students, one of them middle-aged. The staff was friendly enough. There was a security guard at the front basically making sure the kids walked instead of ran. There were plenty of people behind the counters. No one bugged me while I looked around. At check-out, the woman who was manning my line was curt a bit impatient with the semi-annoying family in front of me. I could tell she'd had a long day, and this place is probably a bit disheartening to work at, so I can't hold it against her. The staff was doing its best, but they don't have a lot to work with. The surrounding neighborhood is rundown. The fact that there was a guard on duty and that the multi-media reserves are held behind the counter alerted me that the Hilltop branch has seen its share of trouble. Hopefully the city library system can put more effort into the Hilltop branch. The residents there were definitely using the facility. The place was packed, especially with kids. But there wasn't a whole lot to take home.

The Hilltop branch has been undergoing a few renovations within the last few months! I am a bit…read morebiased, as I don't know how I ever lived without a library within walking-distance from my house, but I've yet to be disappointed by this branch. Many of the reasons why this library is so great stem from our great library system as a whole; making any request online and having materials shipped to the location of your choice, a diverse selection of materials, and friendly and helpful staff. This branch does not have enough computers to meet the needs of the visitors. As mentioned in a previous review, this has more to do with the lack of internet access for many patrons than it does for the library itself. I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes for a computer though, as I don't have a printer at home and sometimes use the library for its (fantastic) 10 cent printing. I don't have kids, so I don't know much about the offerings for anyone under the age of 18. It does appear that they have a really nice kids area, as well as community rooms for after school homework assistance. There are many stacks of books and a HUGE selection of audiobooks to peruse at any given time. They lose some points for their miniscule selection of music, but they make up for that with a bigger selection of movies and a whole wall of 'new' books. To be honest, it's easier to just order anything that you want online and pick it up when it arrives. This library is teeming with life. If you can't handle the youths loitering in the parking lot, or the snarky adolescents using the computers , then perhaps a drive to the downtown location would serve you better.

Recently I contacted the City of Dublin because my trash bin was broken. They immediately returned my call and were very nice and understandable of the issue. It was the trash people that broke it so they realized this resident needs a replacement soon. Although I could not take all my trash bags out last week for the new bin, I will definitely be receiving a new one this Thursday and that is why I'm happy to give them a five star review. They handled the issue in a timely manner and left me feeling reassured that I'll get what I need as soon as possible. Since I'm a new homeowner, I always thought you would collect the trash bin at the city hall but I must have been mistaken because they just deliver it to your home which of course is very convenient for me as I do not own a truck to haul it back home. In addition, I have been very pleased with the city in the measures it takes to protect our homes while we are away. They send their police department out to monitor your house while your on vacation. I cannot speak for any other city that does this but this is the first I've heard of this. As well as handling the recent mosquito outbreak in Dublin for what was assumed as West Nile. They sprayed multiple times around the area to make sure residents would be safe. The City of Dublin is surely doing their work well and I'm happy they are quick to respond to any issues. It's reassuring and feels great overall to have a city that cares about its own residents.
