Library Journal has named the Grandview Heights Public Library (GHPL) one of America’s best public libraries with a ranking of five stars for the 11th consecutive year.

This year, the journal’s Index of Public Library Service evaluated 7,361 U.S. public libraries across the country. 257 libraries received starred ratings, and 60 libraries received five-star ratings.

Ratings are based on 2016 data from the IMLS—circulation (physical and digital materials), visits, program attendance, and Internet use, each per capita.

In addition to GHPL, six other Central Ohio library systems received star ratings: Bexley Public Library, Columbus Metropolitan Library, Upper Arlington Public Library, Wagnalls Memorial Library, Westerville Public Library, and Worthington Libraries.

Your support continues to make GHPL one of the best public libraries in the country! Thank you!
