Reviews of Columbus Public Library (Library)

Lakisha Shorter

They are there when you need help. And very helpful with any question you have

Impressive. No hassles about anything like you find at other libraries.

Recently got a new library card after moving back here. Everyone was nice and willing to help me since I have never been to the newer library on Macon Rd. Everyone (for most part) had a smile on their face. I also love the online options they now have too. My car broke down and I simply loged into the website to renew. Granted I forgot today I had to get books back and now owe, but that is my fault. I will gladly pay, because I know it's going to a wonderful place. If I had more I would definitely donate what I could. Thanks for trying to make our community better!

The few times I have been there was very nice. Clean restrooms, etc..

This is an underrated destination library for visitors. Free parking, free internet (dont need a library card), high quality national newspaper and international magazines for reading, and DVDs that are available for viewing in the cover without the need for a library card. The library is clean all over.

I am a bookworm. Having moved here this past May, I have never visited a library like this...I was in heaven...great library We shop here st least once or twice a week, and have been since we moved here in May. This past Sunday, we went shopping and purchased some Dunkin Stock & s fee more items. Yesterday my neighbor opened the box, and one in the. Package had mold. Returned to store w/box, showed the same cashier at had Sun I didn't have my receipt, so she said I couldn't verify I purchased it from there. Vendors pick up & replace items like that, ak store wouldn't have lost any money. Very disappointed in neighborhood store.

Large library with a lot of books to browse. The WiFi can drop in places in the building, that is due to the materials used when it was built and the thickness of the walls.

I am from this area but have recently relocated temporarily. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, but true to the Columbus way, there are major inconveniences. I had to complete a large print job and wouldn't you know it, not only are there NO change machines, but the printers do not accept credit cards either. How much sense does it make to have a room filled with printers that only accept cash yet there is NO other means to obtain cash on the premises!? This city has A LOT of growing to do smh.

I’ve been to libraries all over the country and this is the only library that’s ever felt like home to me. They offer amazing programs and events, the staff is kind and helpful, their booksales are like no other! If you have kids the programs they offer for them are wonderful. The children’s part of the library is huge and a great place for children to visit and have fun. The FOL bookstore is an added bonus and the staff there is always so sweet. It’s just the best!

The library itself is hands down amazing! They have a plethora of books and all sorted in different rooms. The library has special programs going on all year long that is nice to beat the heat and enjoy the a/c. BUT this place seriously lacks in customer service!!! The ladies working the front desk are inexplicably rude and have no business in customer service. They have no idea as to what events or programs are taking place and make you feel stupid for even trying to ask.

The best library in the city, user-friendly very friendly patrons, just ask and the help is there family oriented. Offers a lot of learning for those who need.

Peaceful & Beautiful

Great library but SOME of their employees have the worst attitudes ever. They need to hire people with better customer service skills and get rid of the ones with the ugly attitudes. I don’t see how people who sits behind a desk all day and do nothing except for entering information into a computer can have such an horrible attitudes.

I kinda enjoy coming here to study in their quit reading area. Unfortunately staff and security dont do alot to stop self centered people from having a full blown cellphone conversation in areas designated as "quite reading spaces". Come on people, you're in a freaking library for God's sake. Take it else where. Have some respect. At other libraries I've been to, librarians would be on your rear if you even dared thought of using your phone.6

The library system is AMAZING. The children’s staff truly love their jobs and create wonderful and creative programs for the children. It’s my daughters favorite place to visit!

Tiffany Wyatt

Joshua Richmond

One of the best libraries I have been to! There is such a large selection and the area it is in is made to be so nice! Plus, the building itself is a work of art! Also, it's an amazing place for kids, I would definitely recommend any book lover to come here and look around!

Wendy Trujillo

Awesome story time for the twins and me...

Amy Perez

Love it because I can go and get in computer and printers things for school

Jonathan

This library is the one I went to for a long time and I still do, it's a good place for me go and do stuff on my computer. The only downsides is the bathrooms lack paper towels (which is more sanitary than a blow drier) and the (Wi-Fi IS TRUTHFULLY WEAK). They could stand to have better Wi-Fi. Then again, they'll might end up charging us to use better Wi-Fi which would be really low. Overall, this a good library.

Lilynette Gomes

Beautiful place. Great location. Wonderful staff. Very resourceful. Love the kids area. As a mother I had to do plenty of work in the computer. Love the fact that I can get work done as they are entertain by books computers toys and socializing with other kids. Very big place but extremely peaceful. Thank you to whoever decided to invest this place into our community. Thank you to all the staff you guys are amazing and extremely helpful.

Danielle Fifita

Beautiful, well equipped library. Great children's programs! Neat garden, very clean.

McKinsi Rowley

Beautiful place that gets me out of the house and has a peaceful vibe all around. A great place to sketch in peace with friendly passionate librarians that never fail to direct me to a great book when I don't know what to read next. Always has new material and is quick about hold requests. Great email reminders for due dates and holds pending pickup. I have nothing bad to say honestly! Would recommend for families looking for a free space to enjoy time together. Keep up the great work!
