Some general info about Gahanna, it is in the top 100 places to live.
Gahanna Branch has 33 staff including 5 managers. There is a Homework Help Centre(HHC) and Job Help Centre(JHC), the HHC runs from 4-7pm Monday through Thursday and run by a full time staff member with a volunteer assistant. On average there are about 15 students per day. They have 38 pcs in total which are spreadout through the library. Some of the PCs are in the Teen area, Children's area and Job/Homework Centre.
All pcs in the children's area have an adult pc and anyone in that area must be supervised while their children are there. This is a general rule for all branches with Kids pcs.

There are 6 storytimes run each week including one each Saturday for Family Storytime. These are shared between 3-4 different staff members and is about 30 mins each.
Very few adult programs are run at CML branches. This was an organisational decision. CML is focused on Young Minds and most of their events and programs are directed at Youth.
New Albany is one of the branches that do not have a Homework Help Centre at the moment but do have 2 computers that are used for Job Help. The building of this branch was primarily funded by donations. There are many people who donate to the library and this is one of the reasons why the branch was able to be built. We attended an Information Staff Meeting and listened to some book reviews from each of the staff members, they do this as part of the Readers advisory and learning how to give recommendations to borrowers when they are asked
"what's a good book to read".
Our last stop was at the Dublin branch , this wasn't on our schedule but we went in to have a look since it was close to where we are staying. We got a tour of the library and really enjoyed the view from the seats overlooking the garden :)
