The Columbus Metropolitan Library was voted the 2010 Library of the Year! From their website...
We have the incredible honor of officially announcing that Library Journal has selected Columbus Metropolitan Library as Library of the Year. This is one of the highest honors in the library world, and comes on top of our 5 Star Rating and our #1 Hennen rating. What an outstanding accomplishment!
Library Journal puts it this way: "All libraries are good, some are great. The 2010 Library Journal/Gale Cengage Learning Library of the Year Award celebrates the library that most profoundly demonstrates: service to the community; creativity and innovation in developing specific community programs or a dramatic increase in usage; and leadership in creating programs that can be emulated by others." This award celebrates our Ready to Ready Corps, Homework Help Centers, Job Help Centers, and all the exceptional service CML every day to ensure that this great institution transforms the lives of our community. In particular, Library Journal quotes Mike Curtain, editor emeritus of The Columbus Dispatch: "CML is a world class library on a shoestring budget." LJ tells us that this was a particularly tough race – that there were many excellent libraries who vied for the Award. But, ultimately, CML was selected.
