COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Metropolitan Library announced it’s opening the new Marion-Franklin Branch Saturday, Oct. 18, at 2800 Lockbourne Road.
To celebrate, there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. on the day of the opening.
CML said before the new branch opens, it will close the current Marion-Franklin Branch at 2740 Lockbourne Road. It will shutter its doors Friday, Oct. 3, at 6 p.m. The location will be closed permanently, and CML encouraged customers to visit nearby locations until the new one opens.
CML explained that the current Marion-Franklin Branch opened as an “express branch” in 2014 to help give the community access to library services since it previously didn’t have any.
The new location will be more than double the size of the branch that’s closing, CML said. Construction of the new location began in June 2024.
Its hours of operation will be as follows:
Monday-Thursday: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Friday-Saturday: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Sunday: 1-5 p.m.
