Columbus Fire Battalion Chief Steve Martin said crews were fighting the fire inside before the flames were too heavy on the roof, WBNS reported.
There is a firewall between the two sides of the warehouse, so there is not a concern the fire will spread, officials told the television station. However, the burning books, which are not made of any hazardous materials, may take until Thursday morning to put out, according to WBNS.
No injuries have been reported.
