Long Description:At the North end of Indiana War Memorial Plaza sits Central
Library. Today it is known as the Indianapolis-Marion County Public
Library. Completed in 1916, this library is designed with a Greek
influence. Even after entering the building you get this awesome
feel with lighting and ceiling details.
Proceeding through the room, you walk into a completely
different world, with a very open, modern library. Starting in
2001, the library started undergoing a large project, building a 6
story library behind the old. Connecting the two buildings is a
very open atrium.
The old library, has been given a new lease on life. A very
quiet space with chairs and the fiction section of the library.
More information on the moderization of the library can be found
