    Happened to be nearby and needed a few books. Easy to get to, though watch the turn- you go in…read moresouth of the building, there's a one-way exit just north of the library, and no way to get in through the mall. Beautiful new building, lots of glass. Open and bright inside. Large children's area. I didn't see the other areas, because I have a kid... 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.

    All I can say about the new library is WOW. Definitely a destination place. I always supported…read morelibrary levies because of how they meet the needs of our diverse community. But this new library is incredible. I especially like all the "New Book" areas. Tons of spots for your little ones, your teens or maybe you just want to sit and relax and plug in or unplug. Inside, you would have no idea you are on busy Brice Road. Lots of parking, love the landscaping. We need more than 5 stars.

    Basically, this is an upscale drop off DAYCARE center and not designed for someone seriously…read morewanting to gain knowledge through a library. 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.

    Great place to meet w groups. There are conference rooms. However it can be very loud as they…read morehave a ton of children's programs! There are great spaces to read and bonus you can charge your phone/ devices in some areas. It seems everyone I go in there is a massive children's program with loud music going on.i have been in the morning and afternoon! I'll have to go another time.
