CML to open Hilltop Branch<br />

Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML)<br />

is building a new Hilltop Branch at 511 S.<br />

Hague Ave., scheduled to open to the public<br />

on Thursday, Sept. 30 following a brief<br />

ribbon-cutting ceremony at 3:30 p.m.<br />

Before the new branch opens, CML will<br />

close the temporary Hilltop Branch at 3658<br />

Soldano Blvd. Its last day of operation is<br />

Wednesday, Sept 22. At 7 p.m., the temporary<br />

location will close permanently, and<br />

customers are encouraged to visit nearby<br />

locations for library services, including<br />

CML’s Franklinton Branch, until the new<br />

Hilltop Branch opens eight days later.<br />

Additionally, before the temporary location<br />

closes, CML is offering Hilltop customers<br />

the chance to be a part of the<br />

library’s — and community’s — history.<br />

Customers can sign their names to a commemorative<br />

panel that will be installed in<br />

the new branch. This panel will be on display<br />

at the temporary location beginning<br />

Breakfast at the Lodge<br />

The Westgate Masonic Lodge #623 is<br />

preparing breakfasts once a month to benefit<br />

the Special Olympics. The public is<br />

Pet Corner<br />

community events<br />

Monday, Sept. 13. The temporary location<br />

is open Monday through Thursday from 9<br />

a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 9<br />

a.m. to 6 p.m. and is closed Sunday.<br />

The Hilltop Branch at 511 S. Hague<br />

Ave. was built in 1996 with 20,000 square<br />

feet. After a significant renovation and<br />

expansion that kicked off in early 2020, the<br />

transformed branch will have approximately<br />

32,000 square feet.<br />

In addition to being a community asset,<br />

Columbus Metropolitan Library strives to<br />

minimize its environmental footprint.<br />

With each new building or renovation project,<br />

CML plans to use sustainable building<br />

materials, incorporate glass for natural<br />

light to reduce energy costs and introduce<br />

other design and building elements friendly<br />

to the natural environment.<br />

Elijah is a 1-year-old<br />

pit bull searching for<br />

his forever home.<br />

This guy is high energy<br />

and will need an<br />

active home with a<br />

family that can help<br />

teach him some<br />

manners through<br />

positive reinforcement<br />

training. Elijah<br />

is good around other dogs, but can be rowdy,<br />

so he’ll need his new companion to match his<br />

energy level. Elijah is up for adoption at the<br />

Franklin County shelter.<br />

FYI: franklincountydogs.com.<br />

Manny is a 6-yearold<br />

mixed breed and<br />

is a favorite at the<br />

county shelter. He is<br />

a very intelligent dog.<br />

He loves to learn and<br />

lives to please. You<br />

could teach Manny<br />

just about anything. If<br />

you would like to<br />

meet him, stop by the<br />

Franklin County Dog Shelter.<br />

Mark and Lexie are<br />

5-month-old siblings.<br />

They love all people,<br />

especially when<br />

they’re giving them<br />

attention. They love to<br />

play just as much as<br />

they love to cuddle.<br />

Though they do love<br />

attention from<br />

humans, they are also<br />

happy just playing with each other. Mark and<br />

Lexie would be so happy to find a home<br />

together, because the only thing better than<br />

adopting one kitten is adopting two. This pair<br />

is up for adoption through Colony Cats.<br />

FYI: colonycats.org<br />

Balboa is a playful<br />

boy looking for his forever<br />

home. He likes to<br />

chase and play with<br />

other cats but is also<br />

happy to snuggle up<br />

on a lap to snooze if<br />

given the opportunity.<br />

A volunteer called<br />

Balboa a rare gem<br />

who would add a layer of love to any family.<br />

Adopt this handsome guy from Colony Cats.<br />
