"Building resources for the sole purpose of advancing the mission of Columbus Metropolitan Library for generations to come." The Columbus Metropolitan Library Foundation provides financial support for the Library’s greatest needs and highest priorities through generous gifts from customers like you. Every day Columbus Metropolitan Library provides vital services to the central Ohio community, like homework help for students, early literacy skill training for children and resume services for jobseekers. The need for the Library has never been greater and gifts to the Foundation ensure that our programs and services will continue to be available for free to all who walk into each of our 22 locations.
Our mission is to prepare at-risk and court-involved youth for productive lives in their communities by improving academic skills, teaching appropriate life and social skills, and fostering involvement in positive activities.
