Come ring in the new year with us- at noon! We'll celebrate with activities, crafts, and games throughout the library, plus storytime and a special balloon drop at noon.
Counting down to 12 p.m. instead of 12 a.m. allows your family to celebrate the new year together without staying up too late. Families and children of all ages are welcome to join us for activities, crafts, games, and a storytime to ring in the new year and develop important early literacy skills. Plus, we'll count down to noon with a special balloon drop! No registration is required.

The Lawrence Branch opened in 1967 on North Franklin Road in a storefront previously occupied by the Lawrence Post Office. It was the first branch to open within an incorporated town in Marion County. Rapid population growth demonstrated the need for a larger, permanent facility to serve the northeast side. A 3.44 acre site was purchased from MSD Lawrence Township for a new 13,500-square-foot library that opened in 1983.
Renovated in 2020, the Lawrence Branch re-opened to changes that maximized access to the Library’s services and collections, created engaging and functional spaces for those of all ages, and increased access to new technology. The project also provided group study and tutoring areas, improved lighting, more outlets for charging stations, and updates to the entrance, public restrooms and interior finishes.
