The new Glendale Branch Library is scheduled to open in the Summer of 2023. It will be located at 3660 East 62nd Street at the corner of 62nd and Olney, the site of the former John Strange Elementary School.
Some exciting features of the new building:
The Broad Ripple community has enjoyed library service at various sites since 1930. The first stand-alone library opened in 1949 adjacent to School No. 80 and continued at that location until a larger branch opened in Broad Ripple Park in 1986. Facing a need for continued growth, the current Glendale Branch was constructed in 2000 and became the country’s first full-service library in a major shopping mall.
Join Jeremy South of Ripple Mobile Arts to explore watercolor and collage techniques inspired by the art of Eric Carle. Children ages 3-6 will learn about painting with water and will take home a fun collage creation of their own! Dress to mess!
Babies up to 24 months and an adult are invited for stories, songs, fingerplays, and fun! Each session is followed by playtime with special toys designed just for babies.
Beginning or reluctant readers ages 6 - 11 are invited to read to a registered therapy dog who loves to listen to stories. It's a great way to improve a child's reading skills and self-confidence. Register online or call the branch at 317-275-4410, ext. 4.
The Glendale Branch will relocate in 2023. The new branch will be built on library owned property and will be an accessible, stand-alone branch. The new Glendale Library will include study rooms, activity area, and an enlarged computer lab.
