The first library to serve the neighborhood opened in 1957 as the Emerson Branch. This frame house near East 38th Street and North Emerson Avenue soon became too small to meet the neighborhood's needs, leading to construction of a 7,500-square-foot branch at the same location in 1962. The Emerson Branch closed its doors in 2003 when the current 16,000-square-foot library opened as the East 38th Street Branch.
The Library presents a free service for unemployed or underemployed individuals to receive one-on-one assistance to enhance their employment skills.
Teens are invited to drop in to play the collectible trading card game, Magic the Gathering. Staff will be on hand to teach new players. Bring your own deck or play one of the Library's.
Families with children ages 3 and up are invited for a special ballet story time with Ballet Theatre of Indiana. They will hear about the Nutcracker story, based on E.T.A. Hoffmann's work, and take part in a short ballet lesson.
