I like the Indianapolis downtown library a lot. It is a great place to read and study although at times there can be some rather loud and annoying people to put up with. And that includes the librarians. For some reason they often don't use their library voices when talking to patrons. Very strange. Also I find the lighting at the study tables to be too bright. The shades need to be adjusted so the lighting doesn't shine directly into your eyes. The bathrooms have old blow dryers that don't work very well and all of them are placed at a height that seems to be convenient only for children and the handicapped. Most adults have to bend over uncomfortably to be able to use them. Also I love the views outside from the upper levels but the chairs are always turned with their backs to the outside. I guess this might be to keep homeless people from hiding the fact that they are sleeping by the security guards? The temperature is often not really comfortable. I'm sure that's to keep the energy costs down. I also wish the hours were later. Other than those annoying things, I do love the library!

Wonderful place for everybody, adults, kids, families. Promise you that at the Library there is something for everyone. Check out the Library today nearest you!

IMCPL's catalog is as extensive as its staff are friendly, helpful, and remarkably good at what they do. I love IMCPL! Definitely check out Central Library for the beautiful views and great light, and take your time pacing its well-groomed aisles for books you always needed but never knew existed.

This is such a nice place and a great building. I’m so happy it’s here and open and so close to downtown where it’s convenient to reach for many people.

I used to hang out here over lunch when I worked nearby. It's a real nice library. Lots of workspaces in both the old original section and the new addition. Staff is attentive and helpful.
