StoryWalk at Wyman Woods

/in

GHPL StoryWalk at Wyman Woods Park is now open!

Enjoy the book Goodbye Autumn, Hello Winter by Kenard Pak as you stroll around the park.

While you may see a story occasionally, you will also see other activities – artwork, poetry, nature activities, and even trivia – in collaboration with community partners.

This is the second GHPL StoryWalk in Grandview Heights. The first one was installed in Spring 2020 at C. Ray Buck Park​, which is just a few blocks east​ of Wyman Woods Park. Visit Buck Park to read the latest story!​​

GHPL StoryWalk is a delightful, innovative way for children and adults to enjoy reading, activities, and the outdoors at the same time. Develop your child’s early learning skills by discussing things you see along the trail.​

Stories change periodically (more frequently in the warmer months), so visit again soon.

Presented with Grandview Heights Parks and Recreation.

GHPL’s 13th five-star rating

/in

The Grandview Heights Public Library has received its 13th consecutive five-star rating from Library Journal.

GHPL is 1 of 6 U.S. public libraries to achieve this distinction. GHPL also ranked #1 nationwide among libraries in its expenditure category.

This year, the journal’s Index of Public Library Service 2020 evaluated 5,608 public libraries across the country. 262 libraries received star ratings, and 85 libraries received five-star ratings. 

Ratings are based on 2018 data from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)—physical/digital circulation, online content usage, visits, program attendance, and Internet/wireless use, each per capita.

In addition to GHPL, five other Central Ohio library systems received star ratings: Bexley Public Library, Columbus Metropolitan Library, Upper Arlington Public Library, Wagnalls Memorial Library, and Worthington Libraries (also 1 of 6 U.S. public libraries to receive 13 consecutive five-star ratings).

Thank you for continuing to make GHPL one of the best public libraries in the country!
