Indianapolis Public Library - Glendale Branch

The Glendale Library has some very unique aesthetics that enable you to engage at such a deep level. There are all sorts of nooks and crannies to escape and get lost in the books. The private study rooms are so very adequate. The architecture is simply amazing. I love this place.

The library is a fantastic resource, offering a wonderful space for learning and discovery. However, I’ve noticed a strong emphasis on a certain theme (LGBTQ), in the teen and children's section, and throughout various displays throughout the library. It would be great to see a broader range of materials that highlight summer activities, skill-building opportunities, and fun ways to expand knowledge. Encouraging diverse interests can help inspire curiosity and growth, and I appreciate the staff’s dedication to fostering a welcoming and enriching environment for all patrons.

A terrific library! It's in a somewhat unexpected location (next to a Staples) as the library is located on the upper level of what appears like a giant mall-like complex. But once you actually get inside, the place is awesome! A great selection including some terrific coffee table books. Good lighting, clean, and helpful staff! Parking is also super-easy and free as well.

I love the new Glendale location. Lots of comfy seating and interactive activities for the kids. I love the kids area but wish com1puters were not there.

Such a beautiful space to work out of and lots of seating available! Almost--selfishly--tempted to gatekeep this location because of how much I love it here, especially now that fall is in full swing.

Parental supervision is NON-existent. Parents are divided into two camps: 1. Free childcare while I read my social media and text and watch TikToks. Usually children in this category are named: Precious, D'Shantay, or Jabari. 2. My child is so spesshial, everybody needs to stop what they are doing and listen and watch how cute and oh-so-smart they are. Usually children in this category are named Kaden, Wren, or Emmett. It is truly a disservice to those patrons who want to read in a quiet, peaceful environment without children running around yelling, eating, and fighting.

Such a nice library tucked away next to the Target. The main library is upstairs, and features , a nice selection of books, videos, computers, study areas and magazines. Great way to spend the afternoon.
