Public meeting and online survey for new West Case Branch

COLUMBUS—Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) is seeking community input for the design of its new West Case Branch, which will be constructed on the city’s northwest side and become CML’s 24th location serving Franklin County.

Customers are invited to attend a public meeting to connect with CML leaders and architects from MSR Design.

Thursday, April 3 | 5-8 p.m.
Carriage Place Community Center | 4900 Sawmill Rd.

Additionally, an online survey is available for community members to provide their input through April 11.

As announced earlier this year, the new West Case Branch will be built within a planned City of Columbus park located across from The Ohio State University’s airport on Case Road. The City of Columbus purchased this parcel of land – informally known as the “sheep farm” – from the university in 2019.

Construction of the new branch is expected to begin next year. CML hopes to open the new branch in 2027.

Columbus Metropolitan Library has served the people of Franklin County, Ohio since 1873. With its Main Library and 22 branches, CML is well known for signature services and programs like School Help, Reading Buddies, Summer Reading Challenge and Ready for Kindergarten. The library’s Strategic Plan supports the vision of “a thriving community where wisdom prevails,” which positions CML to respond to areas of urgent need: kids unprepared for kindergarten, third grade reading proficiency, high school graduation, college and career readiness and employment resources.
