Access to the entire collection of materials at The Indianapolis Public Library is now at the fingertips of the 9,000-plus students who attend Franklin Township Schools, thanks to the library issuing cards to them.

“Owning a library card is a child’s ticket to endless adventure and knowledge,” said Catherine C. Whitson, principal of Franklin Township Middle School West. “The vast programming and digital resources allow all children the opportunity to continuously grow and expand upon their experiences well past their school days.”
​
The students join nearly 40,000 other students throughout Marion County who have received library cards during a campaign to meet the library’s goal of providing a card to every student in the county.
