The spacious open floor plan, children's rain forest walkway, theatrical children's classroom, and silent study rooms all add to customers' enjoyment of this branch, which delivers HCLS' curriculum (materials, research assistance, classes, and events) to students of all ages. The East Columbia Branch recorded over a half-million visits in FY 2012.
