What's open and what's closed for the Columbus Day holiday Monday?

Monday is Columbus Day, a federal holiday observed on the second Monday every October to recognize Italian explorer Christopher Columbus.

However, some states and cities now celebrate the holiday as Indigenous Peoples' Day to recognize the indigenous people who were already here when Columbus "discovered" the Americas, and whom, historians say, were enslaved and abused under the explorer's direction.

Because the federal holiday celebrating Columbus has become a contentious issue, most local governments and other public entities here have moved the day off elsewhere. Here's a rundown of what's closed and what's open:

• Post offices are closed and regular mail will not be delivered.

• Federal and state offices are closed.

• City of Columbus offices will be open, trash will be collected as scheduled and parking meters will be in effect. The city discontinued observing the holiday of its namesake in 2018, moving the paid day off to Veterans Day instead.

• Franklin County offices will be open since the county commissioners in 2020 moved the paid holiday to Juneteenth.

• Columbus City Schools, the state's largest school district, will hold classes on a regular schedule. Whether Columbus Day is observed depends on the individual public school district.

• Ohio State University is open, having moved the paid holiday to the Friday after Thanksgiving some years ago.

• Columbus State Community College is open.

• Columbus Metropolitan Library branches are open on the holiday, which it calls Indigenous Peoples' Day.

• Central Ohio Transit Authority will operate on a Saturday schedule.
