In Columbus, Ohio, a converted mansion houses 32 rooms of books where readers can get lost for hours, a coffee shop serves good coffee for good causes, and macaroons in inventive flavors like lime-basil abound. It's a college town, too, home to Ohio State University, and boasts an exciting visiting writer's series each year.
