Quiet Reading RoomJoin the City of Bexley, Congregation Torat Emet, and Bexley Public Library to learn more about the Main Street Outdoor Reading Room at this special Community Workshop.
Bexley area residents, businesses, and organizations are encouraged to join the City of Bexley, Congregation Torat Emet, and Bexley Public Library on December 1st at 5:00 pm for a “Main Street Outdoor Reading Room" Community Workshop. The workshop will take place in the Quiet Reading Room of Bexley Public Library and will focus on proposed plans to develop an outdoor reading space located in between the library and Torat Emet Synagogue on East Main Street.
Conceived more than ten years ago, the original outdoor reading room concept was intended to create an inviting open-air space for library patrons to quietly sit and read. With the recent nationwide rise in popularity of outdoor gathering spaces, this idea has renewed momentum and has been enhanced to include a performance area and to create a more public park-like feel. The “Main Street Outdoor Reading Room” will be a part of the City of Bexley’s 2023 Year of the Park.
Details of the Reading Room’s proposed design will be shared during the workshop, and participants will be encouraged to ask questions and provide input. Questions and input also may be submitted in advance at questions@bexleylibrary.org or by calling Paige Bilotta at 614-545-6942.
Join us in-person or via Facebook Live.

Bexley Public Library
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.
