Parking Made Easy: A Guide to CML's Parking Options

The Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) has announced that it will extend its Sunday closure until further notice due to staffing challenges. While this may cause some inconvenience, CML is committed to ensuring continuous service and providing ample parking options for its patrons.

With a total of 23 locations, CML employs approximately 870 full and part-time staff members. Its ambitious plan includes the newly opened Karl Road, Hilltop, and Gahanna branches, as well as planned renovations or new builds for other branches.

When it comes to parking, CML has made sure that its patrons have convenient options available. For example, parking is available in the branch parking lot at the Linden Branch transformation event. This event marks a significant milestone in CML's broader initiative to bring 21st-century libraries to 10 communities.

As part of this initiative, CML invites the community to a ceremonial 'wallbreaking' at 3 p.m., which will welcome library leaders, city and community officials, and is open to everyone. Parking for this event is available in the branch parking lot, making it easy for attendees to get there.

The new two-level building will more than double the current space, expanding from approximately 12,700 square feet to an impressive 27,000 square feet. This expansion is a clear indicator of CML's commitment to serving the community's needs in an ever-evolving world.

In the meantime, a temporary Linden Branch is set to open at 1990 Jefferson Ave., right next to the Linmoor Education Center, on Saturday, February 17. This interim location will operate Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

By providing ample parking options and temporary locations, CML is committed to ensuring that its patrons have access to library services without interruption. Whether you're looking for a place to study, borrow books, or attend an event, CML's parking options make it easy to get there.

So, book lovers and library enthusiasts, fear not! With CML's commitment to continuous service and convenient parking options, you can rest assured that your library experience will be seamless.
