OSU's Main Library may be closed (scheduled to reopen Summer 2009), but Columbus Metropolitan Library was just rated #1 in the country. Full story here.

I love libraries even more than I love bookstores, because the books in the library are FREE! I actually liked the old Main Library a lot, despite the labyrinthine stairwells and winding stacks. In fact, I think the mishmash was part of its charm, because I am one of those people who could very happily get lost for weeks in a building full of books (see also: The Book Loft). The new library looks pretty nice already, but who knows if I will even be around to enjoy it.

This reminds me, I need to renew my Worthington Libraries card.
P.S. I finished The Brothers Karamazov right before school started. So that only took me like...nine months.
