Northwest Library

Oh my god! Shut the front door! I can’t believe I did not even know about this location all this time! I must have been living under a rock!
My friends there is this library which is located beyond the yonder of our good olé Dublin, Ohio just off Hard Road. I don’t know how I did not get the memo it exists and is apart of the Columbus Metropolitan Libraries. The Columbus Metropolitan Library system has a pool of branches and I did not notice this one!
The libraries atmosphere is most inviting. Very open and I just love the ambiance. The building is big and spacious but the parking lot is a little funny. When you first come in there’s one area to park then there’s the library in the middle along with three other wacky ways to park around the library.
I came when the library opened at 9 AM this morning the cleaner must have thought I was some crazy chick trying to get in and out of the library but it was truly my first time. I was just trying to find a meeting room but they were taken so fast by other people who requested the rooms.
Had I made more time, I would have explored the library in full detail and noticed each section from young adult to adult books. As well as the DVD’s/Blu-Ray section. I just like exploring everything when I first visit a library I’ve never been to.
I do have assumptions that this library may have been linked to the Worthington library system before and maybe apart of it. Although I’m not 100% sure if I’m right.
The librarians here are really helpful and willing to help you book that room or understand why it was not booked. Help you find the book your looking for and any other question you may have for them.
I will surely be coming back here soon! Thanks to the meeting I had here today.

Man– I hadn’t been here in awhile but I stopped a couple of weeks ago since I was nearby. It’s a good branch (formerly Worthington, I think) with a nice building, big selection, and plenty of computers. It’s not really near anything, which is good for the neighborhood I guess, but makes it hard for me to swing by.
Parking is ample, if a little unusually arranged. I’m sure I’ll be back, and any library is a good one to me, but I guess I’ve moved on…

I visited this library couple of times. Pleasant atmosphere, advance technology and wide collection of books decorates this library with more than 5 stars.
My wife was using this library for english learning class. Wow. Free conference room was great help. Staff is very very friendly and equally knowledgable.

I love this location of the Columbus metro. The lobby has a seating/​vending area, the staff are amazing and there’s a huge selection of free books and other media! What’s not to love?

Am I really writing a review about a library, yes. I moonlight as a Spanish tutor to earn extra coinz, I call it saving for my next adventure fund. True confession I have not been to a library in over 7 years, the last time college. In that little time the library has truly made some dynamic changes. My favorite change is the availability of streaming movies on the library website by Freegal. Oh and they renewed my library card that I opened in 1990 at the MLK branch on the East side and waived my uh not so minor fines. I love the overall feel of this library, great Foreign language section, and loads of space to study or meet :-)
Can’t wait to continue my tutoring sessions at this branch!

Great children’s section!

This library branch is part of the Worthington Library System. Although separate, they do participate in a materials sharing consortium with the Metropolitan Columbus and Southwest Public Library Systems. So, if you are looking for something that is not available at the branch, they are able to obtain material copies through their collaboration.
The library’s location is conveniently located with easy local access. There is plenty of parking spots here at this location. They are always quite busy. I am grateful that they offer a free, large size conference room that can be reserved on-​line by the public.
Interior is a contemporary, relaxing environment. They take advantage of some of the latest technology. The staff have always been very helpful with questions.

Mine and my child’s favorite library. Wonderful staff! Great selection! And the Children’s Section is fantastic and fabulous! This place is a hit every time we go.

Awesome branch location of a great library system here.

I have nothing but good things to say about this library. Helpful staff, great location, center and the on-​line Columbus Library system working in tandem with Worthington Libraries rocks.
I just wish they would come up with an app that let’s me reserve books… etc. on my mobile device and I think I’d be in love. Consider a donation if you are a hard core library user, I know they save me THOUSANDS of dollars every year and can use the extra funds.

Use this library several times a week!

FYI: This review is coming from someone that hasn’t entered a public library in, probably, 11 years.
This library is AWESOME. I love, love, love it. It’s right near my house (which is the biggest perk) but I love that I can sign onto their website, request my book, and then they email me when it’s ready. I’m sure A LOT of libraries do this now but I know for a fact that the library in my hometown does not.
I also love the easy, checkout process. If I have three books that I’ve requested, then I go over to the request shelves and pick them up. The self-​checkout process is so simple and I’m out of there within 3 minutes.
If I choose to spend LONGER than 3 minutes in the library, they have a great area to use computers, sit and read, and a great movie/​music selection. I’ve also been quite impressed with the children’s section and activities (even though I don’t have kids).
Overall, a fabulous resource and I’m so glad it’s part of my community.
