The old library building was demolished earlier this year to make way for the community building. Before demolition began, the library was closed for a month to move into the old police station, 2419 14th St., which also currently houses Columbus City Council Chambers.
The Columbus Police Department has been at its new digs, 2330 14th St., for more than a year.
The library will remain in the old police station until the community building is completed.
“We’re making it work,” Columbus Public Library Director Karen Connell said. “We’re making the best of it — and it’s temporary.”
