Election Time!


It has been one crazy interesting presidential campaign season. So much drama! So many opinions!

It's also a rather historic presidential campaign. We have an African American man running for President and a woman running for Vice-President. I bet a lot of Americans never dreamed this could be possible.

Are you interested in this year's election? Why or why not? Do you think voting makes a difference?

Be sure to take the poll to tell us who you'd vote for!

What issues do you think are most important for young people today? What should be the focus of our next President's administration? There are so many issues to consider: the economy, the environment, the war in Iraq, health care, education, abortion, etc. The list goes on and on. One thing's for sure: different people are super passionate about drastically different things.

Which candidate do you think is the best choice for helping to make a better future for young people?

Rated #1 library in the nation. Again.


That's right. According to this survey, we're #1!

Two things that the survey measures to determine success: circulation (all the stuff you check out) and user visits (all the times you come to the library). That means we have YOU to thank for our victory. Every time you check out a book and visit the library, not only are you becoming even more of a super genius, but you're also making us look good. Better than good, the best! Now that's what I call a win-win situation. A well-used library is obviously a well-loved library. And we love your right back.

Why else makes Columbus Metropolitan Library the number one library in the nation? Our gaming programs? Our Teen Read Week Events? The awesome staff? Free Internet access? All the wonderful books and movies?
