<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">COLUMBUS, OH—The Grandview Heights Public Library (<a href="http://www.ghpl.org/">GHPL</a>) is on the go with a new mobile library!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">GHPL’s PopUp Library is a low-speed, electric vehicle specially customized to transport and display library materials. Visitors can browse and check out a selection of materials,
get a library card, and learn more about library resources and services from staff.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The PopUp Library will keep a regular schedule of visits throughout Grandview Heights and Marble Cliff, including: outreach, school visits, park and pool visits, and local
special events like the Grandview Hop, Grandview Digfest, Tour De Grandview, Grandview Farmers Market, and the Memorial Day Parade.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The selection of popular materials for kids and adults will change according to the theme of each visit.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">“It’s a terrific way to engage the community,” said GHPL Director Ryan McDonnell. “The PopUp Library is an exciting way to communicate our services outside of the library.
We love getting out in the community and meeting new people. The response has been amazing.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">“It’s another example of GHPL and the Foundation reaching out and working with the community in innovative ways,” said Foundation President Krista Sturbois. “The PopUp Library
is generating a lot of excitement.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
