COSI – our beloved down-the-street neighbor – is a nationally esteemed science center that has delighted Central Ohio with all things science for 59 years, inspiring interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) topics and delivering our experiential, “hands-on fun” brand of learning.

As a trusted educational resource for families, schools, and community partners – COSI is an essential element of our community, engaging more than one million people annually through onsite, offsite, and online experiences.

We share COSI’s passion for creating an inclusive and welcoming environment that makes science accessible to everyone. We believe that fostering education and continued learning are critical components of both personal and collective growth, and are excited to highlight COSI as a partner who embodies these values through their innovative exhibits, events and educational programs.

Can you say ses·qui·cen·ten·ni·al? Libraries don’t turn 150 years old every day, so it’s time to celebrate! Columbus Metropolitan Library is throwing a year-long celebration to celebrate their sesquicentennial anniversary, and we’re inviting you to join us in celebrating them all month long!

The library is synonymous with community, and we deeply admire how CML – which was founded as a single reading room – has grown to 23 library branches throughout Franklin County, providing spaces that are open to all. From students seeking help with school to book lovers checking out dozens of titles, we are grateful to have this valuable resource in our neighborhoods – including our local Franklinton Branch.

Whether you raise a glass with our exclusive library collaboration brew – Read Ale, grab a Sesquicentennial Passport to embark on an adventure at the library and around your community, or round-up your tab to support the CML Foundation – there are countless ways to show your support.
