Social Work Open Hours
with a Social Work Intern from Capital University
Bexley Public Library partners with Capital University social work interns to offer open hours for help finding community resources, navigating services, and identifying next steps for you.
Bexley Public Library is partnering with the Capital University Social Work Program to host social work interns as part of a required field placement.
At any given time, the library will host one or more social work interns who are here to learn and support our community by helping patrons explore community resources, navigate social service programs, and figure out next steps when things feel overwhelming.
If you are experiencing an emergency or are in immediate danger, please call 911, 988, or a local crisis line.
A social work intern may be able to help if you:
- Aren't sure where to start when looking for community resources
- Need help navigating applications or social service systems
- Want support identifying goals and next steps
- Are feeling overwhelmed and could use help sorting through options
Please note:
- This service will be paused May - August
- Social work interns are not licensed social workers
- They cannot provide therapy, legal advice, or diagnoses
- They cannot guarantee services from outside agencies

Bexley Public Library was founded in 1924 and first housed in Bexley High School, now Montrose Elementary School. The present building opened in 1929 and was designed by architects O.C. Miller and R.R. Reeves who drew upon French and Italian architecture from the 17th century for the design.
The library is located at 2411 East Main Street, at the intersection of East Main Street and Cassady Avenue. Parking is available in our parking lot on Euclaire Avenue and in front of the library on Main Street. Main Street is a No Parking Tow Zone from 4:00-6:00 p.m. weekdays.
