More than 300 people attended the ceremony, filling the makeshift parking lot at the site and causing the police to direct motorists to park along nearby residential streets. The keynote speaker at the event was Rep. Pat Tiberi, R-Columbus. Other speakers included W. Charles Curley and Charlotte Kessler, presidents of the boards of trustees of the Worthington and Columbus libraries, respectively; CML Director Larry Black and WPL Director Meribah Mansfield; and Bonnie Beth Mitchell, who became the library’s first manager.
