Columbus Metropolitan Library’s Northside Branch is set to open on Thursday after more than a year of construction. Columbus Underground took another round of pictures of the new space in advance of the 3:30 p.m. ribbon cutting, which is open to the public. A lot of progress has been made since we last checked in on the two-story, 25,000 square foot building in April – furniture is now in place, books are being shelved, and a new piece of art by Italian artist Loris Cecchini has been hung from the ceiling.
The new branch, at 1423 North High Street, will be open Monday through Thursday from 9am to 9pm, Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
