Library receives Architectural Award

The Grandview Heights Public Library has been awarded a 2012 Architectural Design Award by the Grandview Area Chamber of Commerce.

A jury of five architects and landscape architects selected the Library for the Hall of Fame category, which recognizes existing structures built prior to 2002.
This category focuses on the positive effect of the building on the community through its aesthetic attributes and its contribution to the cultural, business, artistic, and education well-being of the community.
The awards program honors architectural design excellence in the Grandview Heights, Marble Cliff, Clinton Township, and Fifth by Northwest Columbus areas.
The Grandview Library is proud to receive this award and is honored to be the place where the community truly connects.

Thank you to the Chamber and selection committee!

Visit Reference for a special kiosk celebrating this year’s winners. You’ll see a slide show of photographs & information recognizing five award-winning structures.

One of America’s best libraries—again!

Library Journal has recognized the Grandview Heights Public Library as the best public library in America in its category—for the second consecutive time.

This also marks the fifth consecutive time the Grandview Library has received five stars from the Library Journal Index of Public Library Service, a national rating of public libraries, since the ratings began. (Only 30 libraries have received five stars five times in all categories.)

The index identifies 262 “star” libraries (out of  7,570 public libraries) in its America’s Star Libraries 2012. It is based on 2010 data from the IMLS—circulation, visits, program attendance and Internet use, each per capita.

Your continued support has made the Grandview Library one of the best public libraries in the country! Thank you!

In addition to the Grandview Library, four other Franklin County library systems received star ratings:

Learn about our Library Journal five-star ratings in: 20112010, and 2009 (Round One and Two).

Learn about our Hennen’s American Public Library Ratings Top 10 rankings in: 2010 (#3), 2009 (#4), and 2008 (#9).
