In celebration of Central Library’s 100 years of service, Indianapolis Public Library CEO Jackie Nytes will visit Southside branches in the coming weeks to discuss the library’s role.
Central Library, 40 E. St. Clair St., provides support for IndyPL’s 23 branches and houses many special collections, including first-edition copies of celebrated Indiana authors and items that relate to the history of Indianapolis.
Its 1917 Cret Building, constructed of Indiana limestone, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. A 293,000-square-foot glass and steel-framed addition was completed in 2007 and offers spaces for technology, programming and events. Nearly 700,000 patrons visited the library last year.
