Overdue fines are officially paused and will no longer be applied to late items. (This won't remove older fines from your account, though. If older fines are stopping you from using the library right now, please tell us! We may be able to help.)
And finally, items marked as "lost" (aka, overdue for over 14 days) will still generate a lost item fee, but we're happy to remove it as soon as the item is found and returned.

Try a Virtual Event!
Our buildings may be open for browsing and computer use, but our events have moved online! Last month we visited some amazing national parks, learned a bit about genealogy, and even explored tidal pools in California.

But Wait There's More:
Register to Vote!
The deadline to register is October 5th!
Even if you think you're registered, it doesn't hurt to make sure. Voter rolls get purged, moves don't get recorded, or polling places change.
It takes just seconds to check at indianavoters.in.gov!
Get More 3-Day DVDs!
3-Day DVDs are our newest films - the ones everyone wants to get their hands on.
