First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support.

The mission of the Columbus State University Libraries is to provide library and information resources, instruction and other services that promote and enrich intellectual and personal growth as well as scholarship. As part of the 2012 renovation, the Simon Schwob Memorial Library, located on CSU’s main campus, now offers flexible seating for up to 300 students. The new furnishings, along with portable whiteboards and wireless Internet, provide students with excellent opportunities for creative collaboration in a food-friendly environment.   

The CSU Music Library is located at the RiverCenter of the Performing Arts, 900 Broadway in Uptown Columbus.  It houses a collection of over 94,000 CDs and LPs in addition to 700 pieces of sheet music.
