Stop by and say hello to Jackie Nytes, the CEO of The Indianapolis Public Library!
Jackie is stopping by every Library branch throughout the month of May, and she wants to hear from patrons and community members to see how we are doing, how we can better serve you, and share our new strategic plan. Stop by for an informal chat, and check out a book or movie while you are there!
What was known as the Shelby Branch began in 1918 when the library was housed in old School No. 34. A new branch was constructed in 1965 at the current Shelby Street location. Following a major renovation, the branch reopened in 2011 as the Garfield Park Branch, reflecting the desire of residents to refer to the branch by their beloved and adjacent Garfield Park.
