COLUMBUS—Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) is partnering with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland to connect CML customers with some of rock music’s iconic artifacts. From March 4 through May 22, central Ohioans are invited to CML’s Main Library to experience an exhibit of real, working rock pinball machines, along with a drum set used by KISS and photos of rock stars, including a collection of images by legendary Rolling Stone photographer and Columbus native Baron Wolman.

To coincide with the exhibit, CML will host rock-themed programs for customers of all ages, including Storytimes, crafting and music programs for kids, as well as trivia and history programs for adults.

This exhibit is supported by the Columbus Metropolitan Library Foundation, with additional support from the Ohio History Connection.

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.
