Indianapolis Public Library - Central Library

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

I love offering Central Library as a venue option to my couples for their wedding. It is an incredible location that will transform their celebrarion. Thank you for playing a wonderful host and having such a fabulous staff during the process.

Wow- this is where our tax money goes. Beautiful building. 6 floors with spaces to work, meet, study, or just relax. They organize events like chess club, language exchange, kids reading programs and more. There's a Black literature section, a garden, free ebooks with library card and so much more. Lots of homeless and druggies linger around which is the only bad part. All else is good though. Very clean and aesthetically pleasing.

The Indianapolis Public Library exceeded my expectations in every way. The comfort of the space, combined with the well-regulated temperature, made it a joy to spend time there. The library's diverse range of services, from books to printers to DVDs, catered to a wide array of needs. I was particularly impressed by the quiet floors, which allowed for peaceful and focused study or reading sessions. The employees were not only respectful but also incredibly helpful, providing assistance whenever needed. To top it all off, the library boasted a beautiful view, adding a touch of serenity to the overall experience.

How could anyone not give this place a 5 star review is beyond me. I would have felt cheated had I not explored downtown Indianapolis and not have made this a stop. From the impressive architecture and history of the old part of the library, to the new modern contemporary of the new library, this place is nothing short of amazing. We took the time to explore all the floors and they have an abundance of information at your fingertips. Go in, enjoy, explore, and learn.

I loved the African American section, especially seeing prominent figures engraved on the walls. If I lived in the area I would frequent this library often. They also have a variety of books on display in several different languages.
