Local Public Library

Your local public library is always a great resource for children's books and other popular materials.

Many public libraries will have ebook versions that can be access online, as well as physical copies of books.

Columbus Metropolitan Library

Ohio State University Libraries has a partnership with Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) that allows all OSU users to access CML materials at Thompson Library.


To sign up for a CML Library Card, students can visit the Thompson Library Circulation Desk.

Ohio State users with a CML Card can request materials directly through the CML Catalog and have the materials sent to Thompson Library for pick-up.  CML materials can also be returned to the Thompson Library.

Selected fiction, non-fiction and juvenile literature books are located in the Columbus Metropolitan Leisure Reading Collection in the 110 Leisure Reading area of Thompson Library.

Ohio State users can also access electronic resources through CML with their CML Card.
