What can you do at a park? Run, skip, leap, walk, play, frolic, kick up your heels, let down your hair, read...
Read? Yes indeed. The Columbus Commons is home to a very special outdoor reading room. The friendly staff of the Columbus Commons Outdoor Reading Room invite visitors to the southern end of the park to enjoy all the pleasures of a library in the natural setting of Columbus Commons.
Sit at a shady table or chair and enjoy the hundreds of adult and children’s browsing materials -- supplied courtesy the Friends of the Columbus Metropolitan Library.
Highlights for Children provides support for the reading room and coordinates monthly visits at the Commons for Kids events on Fridays.
For those who prefer to read online, the Columbus Metropolitan Library also provides free Wi-Fi access in the Reading Room.
And there’s room for more than reading in our reading room...
With children and youth especially in mind, watch the calendar for special events at the reading room. Each Friday, the Columbus Metropolitan Library hosts a Book Mobile visit and storytime at 10:30am during Commons For Kids. The event also features free carousel rides and inflatables from 10am to 1pm.
You’ll go home with memories and fantastic stories of your very own to share.
