Columbus Metropolitan Library: Linden Branch - Columbus, Ohio

First visit and I encountered the nicest staff. The kids in front of me lost their library cards and the lady assisting them was so kind and polite with them. You could hear the genuineness in her voice. What a delight to hear.

I got my card and was interested in the culture pass and the lady assisting me was just as friendly and helpful.

This is a beautiful addition and plenty of books available. It was nice to see folks waiting to get in - and a line at the counter.

It's fresh, new and filled with computers and technology to support the functional library space. Plenty of parking and an easy drive through pick up compliment the library.

Its one of the older and smaller libraries but the staff there went above and beyond helping me get a new library card and figuring out how to print stuff out. It's 10 cents a page for Black and white only prints.
What makes this place so good was the help from a young man named Rob, he deserves praise for how helpful he was and got me out right as they hit their closing time of 6PM on Friday.
They also have a security officer there, so it's safe as well, and it was clean.

I don't think there's a Columbus Metropolitan Library that I've gone to that isn't 5 stars! I really like that the security guy here will challenge you to a game of chess. So you better bring your A game if you feel like playing a round.

I'm really upset now, and I've lost my patience due to what those ignorant people did to me.

I had booked a study room for 11 am and informed the front desk that I was taking a proctored exam, which could last up to 4 hours. They provided me with a quiet room as we know all proctor exams require silence. That’s why I chose to come to my neighborhood library. However, around 1:40, someone near the door made a loud noise. Unfortunately, I couldn’t look around because any deviation from exam rules could result in the exam being stopped, and everything I had worked on for the past 3 hours would be invalidated.

By 2:30, a rude lady slammed the door, which disrupted my external camera setup and caused it to fall to the floor, breaking it. I requested a brief 5-minute pause so I could contact my proctor and inform them about the issue. However, she started yelling at me despite seeing that I was in the middle of a proctored exam. I tried to remain calm, but two security personnel arrived and placed their hands on me while I was attempting to resolve the situation and reschedule the exam.

Attention Mel!
You asked me for a review of Arnold's book; Seven Tools For Life.
It's quasi autobiographical outlines effect means and ideas that made Schwarzenegger a success.

It's new to me but I LOVE THIS PLACE!

There's always a computer free for me to use. I learned that you can email files to print directly from your phone. Up to 20 b&w copies free. Up to 4 color pages free.

There is opportunity for volunteering with the youth and bring in your own programing. ASK FOR LEA MATHIS!

As small as this branch, i do love they do so much for our youth. I dont come orbring my children to often but when i do its a gret experience. Very clean. No drama. Many activities to even the youngest child. Keep up the great work.
