After being closed for a month, the Glendale library branch returns in a new location.

Improved library access and visibility
Increased access to computers and new technologies
The second-largest collection of physical materials within Indianapolis Public Library system, after Central Library, including various titles in Spanish, French, Korean, and a collection of Braille books.
Pieces of stained glass that were relocated from the old location to the new site’s large study room and quiet adult reading area
A grand opening celebration will start at 10 a.m. and family activities and live music performances will take place throughout the day.
