This is one of the most stunning libraries I’ve ever seen. The blend between historic and modern is lovely, and the resources available no matter your current walk of life are to be applauded. I’m so glad this exists.

We were visiting from out of town, so we weren't there to check out books. We just wanted to see the place, which is really two places, the old library and the new one, joined by an utterly gorgeous atrium.
I liked how the new library continued the tradition of the old, displaying the names of great authors.
We all enjoyed exploring the foreign foreign language collections in the upstairs hall of the old library.
And I recommend that locals check out the Special Collection. It's always full to discover the hidden treasures a library holds.

How is a super fun time bringing the family to the library! Indianapolis Central library location is six stories of pure curiosity and answers! This February is Black History month and there are local artists featured and highlighted throughout each floor of the library. It is so awesome to see the Chinese New Year lunar New Year celebration today. The auditorium was full of curiosity seekers and cultural experiences! I'm so glad we dropped in on such a meaningful day! We were able to stop and read some books, go live on TikTok, and explore all six floors. The only hard part was staying quiet. These girls loved every minute of it! We will come back as often as possible whenever we're bored this is a place to be! Bring your family and get a book and learn something new! Never a dull moment here at the central library
