in

The Grandview Heights Public Library has received its 13th consecutive five-star rating from Library Journal.

GHPL is 1 of 6 U.S. public libraries to achieve this distinction. GHPL also ranked #1 nationwide among libraries in its expenditure category.

This year, the journal’s Index of Public Library Service 2020 evaluated 5,608 public libraries across the country. 262 libraries received star ratings, and 85 libraries received five-star ratings. 

Ratings are based on 2018 data from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)—physical/digital circulation, online content usage, visits, program attendance, and Internet/wireless use, each per capita.

In addition to GHPL, five other Central Ohio library systems received star ratings: Bexley Public Library, Columbus Metropolitan Library, Upper Arlington Public Library, Wagnalls Memorial Library, and Worthington Libraries (also 1 of 6 U.S. public libraries to receive 13 consecutive five-star ratings).

Thank you for continuing to make GHPL one of the best public libraries in the country!
