Did you know it's National Friends of the Library Week?

Here in Columbus, we're fortunate to have an amazing support organization: the Friends of the Columbus Public Library. Through their fundraising efforts, including the bookstore in the Annex, the Friends donated more than $4,000 this year to support library programs and services for our community!

We invite you to stop by the library, grab a piece of candy, and learn more about the Friends and the important role they play in helping us offer great programs all year long.

Thank you, Friends of the Columbus Public Library, for everything you do!

We’ve received several emails and help requests through Libby regarding PINs.
If you need assistance resetting your PIN, please call the library. For your privacy and security, we cannot verify account information or share private information, such as PINs, through email.
Our staff will be happy to help you reset your PIN over the phone or in person. Thank you!

Reminder-
You now need your PIN to log in to Libby.
Every PIN was reset in April when we switched to a new system. If you haven't changed it, your PIN should now be the month and day of your birthday (MMDD). If you still need help, please call the Library.
