We’re thrilled to welcome you back to the newly renovated South Columbus Public Library at 2034 S. Lumpkin Road! This isn’t just a building update—it’s a transformation into a vibrant community hub where neighbors of all ages can connect, learn, and grow together.
After 22 months of renovations, the Library has more than doubled in size, now boasting 21,000 square feet of dynamic space (think: more than four basketball courts!). Designed with you in mind, the Library offers distinct areas for adults, teens, and children, each equipped with modern furnishings, digital tools, and, of course, plenty of books to explore.
Adults and teens will find their new home in the Library’s addition, where soaring ceilings and panoramic windows create a bright and inviting atmosphere. Teens have their own space to game, study, and hang out, complete with computers and collaborative seating.
For families, the Children’s Department is a must-see. With its colorful walls, circular lights, and a range of kid-friendly features, it’s a place where little ones can play, learn, and let their imaginations soar. Highlights include a padded crawl space, a storytime stage with tiered seating, and an outdoor garden for special events. Don’t miss The Everbright—a sensory experience with light and color that invites creativity from all who visit.
Though we reopened in mid-September, we’re inviting the entire community to celebrate with us at the official Ribbon Cutting and Grand Reopening Celebration on October 19 from 10:30 am to 2 pm. Join us for free food, library card sign-ups, a storyteller, and special appearances by Bluey and Bingo!
We can’t wait for you to explore the new South Columbus Public Library at 2034 S. Lumpkin Road. Come for the books, stay for the community!
