Columbus Metropolitan Library Foundation was founded with a mission to build resources to advance the library for generations to come. The foundation supports the library as it "promotes reading and guides learning in the pursuit of information, knowledge and wisdom" and relies on the contributions of individuals, businesses and foundations to help Columbus Metropolitan Library work towards its vision of a thriving community where wisdom prevails.
You can donate a book to the library in someone's name? What a great way to honor a book lover!
