Andrew FurmanFebruary 25, 2016For a fun blend of historic and modern architecture, check out Central Library. From the front steps or from the sixth floor, you can grab some straight-on shots of the American Legion Mall.
I've worked here for 3 years since before the Library opened and it still amazes me the veiw on 6th floor is beautiful at night! Grab a cup o joe and head up to the 6th floor when the sun goes down.- Excellent library 📚, wonderful location. Good customer service. Awesome view of the city from the sixth floor! 😆
Jim CotaFebruary 1, 2012This newly remodeled library offers some of the best reading and working nooks you'll find anywhere.
It’s been pretty good ever since they took care of the scorpion problem in the children’s section. MMA cage matches on Thursday nights are great too.- I love hanging out and reading on the top floor. It's one of the best views of the city. Plus the Atrium in marvelous. Do yourself a favor, grab a coffee, and go kick it down there!
Family Fun in the CityOctober 25, 2012Be sure to let the kids try out the green screen in the children's area. Fun for them, hilarious to watch!
The cafe serves locally roasted Bee Coffee an has a daily lunch special M-F!

Anastasiya WalkerMay 2, 2013Sometimes the wifi sucks and the public isn't pleasant to be around, but their market is nice and good place to find resources for school
One of the best libraries. Ever. The view from the sixth floor is gorgeous.
Erina LudwigJuly 3, 2013For the remainder of July 2013 there will be a brilliant exhibition on display courtesy of social justice champion through a lens- Katie Basbagill.
Scott ROctober 2, 2011Walk through the entire building, there are awesome surprises in every section!
Great place to come and do work, I love sitting up at the top or out patio.
Kevin EmmonsOctober 5, 2010Meters are .25 for 20 minutes. 60 minutes in an hour... clearly not the cheapest place for pay parking. There's plenty of side streets just east for free parking + short walk
4th floor west side is the best view of downtown. More immersive then 5 and 6 which leaves you staring at roofs.
These space chairs alone are worth comin here!they block out all the surrounding noise,pretty suweeet
Greg CoatesFebruary 13, 2012The white and black spherical chairs on the main floor are the bomb if no kids are around screaming.

Parking is no longer free under 30 minutes but its only a buck! Still cheapest parking you can find downtown. :)
April DuncansonNovember 28, 2009Spend some time just exploring. It's pretty amazing, and, if you have a child, the storytime room is so cute!- The 6th floor has an awesome view of downtown Indianapolis!
Mab GravesFebruary 8, 2010Do online hold request. Library's great but I always get lost. I can ALWAYS find the holds shelf.

If you need silence to concentrate, don't use the computer lab on the 1st floor!
