In partnership with the Mapleton-Fall Creek Development Corporation, the InfoZone branch placed a StoryWalk® in the Ruckle Street Pocket Park as a unique way to encourage families to read and exercise together. Laminated story pages are available at various points along the path, following the natural progression of the story.
Founded in 1995, the Shared System is an interlibrary collaboration between The Indianapolis Public Library, schools, and museums. The System allows members and students to use their library cards to borrow materials from their own library as well as IndyPL's collection.
School Library card initiatives are an ongoing effort to provide e-resource Library cards to each public school student in Marion County. The special e-resource Library cards allow students to access the Library's collection of digital materials (e-books, e-audiobooks, and online research tools) even when they do not have transportation or the Library is closed.
Young people can visit any IndyPL location with a parent or guardian to upgrade to a Library card with full borrowing privileges.
