Columbus Metropolitan Library: Linden Branch — Attraction in Columbus

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.

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.

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...
