Library Journal has named the Grandview Heights Public Library one of America’s best public libraries with a ranking of five stars for the 8th consecutive year.

GHPL also ranked 2nd in the nation in its expenditure category for the 3rd consecutive year.

The Library Journal Index of Public Library Service identified outstanding public libraries in its America’s Star Libraries 2015. Ratings are based on 2013 data from the IMLS—circulation, visits, program attendance, and Internet use, each per capita.

More than 7,600 libraries across the country were evaluated, with 261 receiving a starred rating and 85 libraries receiving a five-star rating. Only 21 libraries nationwide have received a five-star rating in all eight editions.

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

In addition to GHPL, five other Central Ohio library systems received star ratings:

• Columbus Metropolitan Library
• Upper Arlington Public Library
• Wagnalls Memorial Library
• Westerville Public Library
• Worthington Public Library

Reserve a guitar from the Grandview Heights Public Library (GHPL) and start making music!

Acoustic guitars are now available to borrow from GHPL, thanks to a grant from the Grandview Heights/Marble Cliff Education Foundation.

The Foundation awarded $2,000 to GHPL for the lending program that provides four Yamaha acoustic guitars for patrons to check out and take home. The program focuses on music education through hands-on collaborative learning for all ages.

Each guitar checkout comes with a hardshell case, accessories, and instructional materials.

GHPL partnered with local business Guitar House Workshop to select the instruments and to provide routine maintenance.

Guitars are available and on display in Circulation on the second level of the library.

Guitars loan for 28 days with a GHPL card (3 renewals, if there are no other patron requests), are available only at GHPL (unavailable through our consortium), and must be returned to GHPL. Overdue fines are $1.25 per day.

GHPL was inspired to lend guitars by Licking County Library’s guitar and ukulele lending program.

Tonight’s Music on the Lawn concert with Ladies of Longford has been CANCELLED due to weather.
