I have spent many an hour in the Pendleton Library doing family genealogy research and borrowing…read moretheir computers to print labels and make copies of pertinent information. I am not able to check anything out because I don't live in the area . For such a small library they have quite a few books in the room that caters to genealogy and lots of old newspapers on file so I found a lot of interesting information about the area and more specifically about my relatives. I was able to trace my family back five generations and found ancestors buried in several cemeteries in the area. I look forward to coming back to the library when I travel back to Indiana again. Note: Unless it's changed, they charged $3 to use their computers compared to the Anderson Library which was free. My only disappointment with them is that in 2007 when my mother passed away I decided to make $100 donation to the library in her name because she was always such an avid reader and probably taught me my love of reading and this was her hometown. When I sent the check I specifically asked them to send me an acknowledgement that they had received it but I never received anything. When I was there in person I asked them if they had any way of checking that they received the money which would have been about a year earlier and they were able to check that and verify that it was received. I had found a thank you letter in my mother's papers for a check she had sent to them after my uncle, her brother, passed away and that was what gave me the idea of making the donation in her name. It just would have been nice to have that acknowledgement.

The Fortville library is a cozy spot you'll definitely want to come back to. If you come on your…read moreown, you'll be able to find a quiet spot to read, study, work, or browse for your next favorite book for sure. I personally spend most of my time in 2 places. The first is the kid area. There are hundreds of books and DVDs for your little ones to pick from. There is also a play area full of toys for hours of playing fun for the kids while you get into a good book! Second, I attend the monthly book clubs. Great chance to read books you might not have picked up otherwise and have some great discussions. Book Club meets the first Monday of every month. You can go to the library at anytime to pick up the month's book and there are bookmarks that show the books for the next couple months as well. Join the Facebook page or check out the library's website for weekly events and activities hosted at the library as well! I've attended a Halloween party with the kids at the library as well as Pinterest craft activity nights!

I stumbled upon the Carnegie Library while walking around downtown Muncie. I love visiting…read morelibraries when I'm in a new area, so I popped in with alacrity. First: It's oh-so quiet in this library. This is a nice place to just exist in silence. That said, this isn't your regular public library, with story times and such. This is a specialty library, and it's more like a repository for old things: old books, archives, vintage catalogues, genealogy information, local history and things like that. But they also have computers that you can use for free, and free wifi, and printers if you need to print something. I'm not from Indiana, so the ancestry records have nothing to do with me. But I think that's cool that if you grew up in Indiana, or have relatives from this state, that you might be able to find out some interesting information about yourself here. The people who work here look ready to help, but ultimately, they leave you the eff alone, which is nice. I got zero greetings, which is the exact number of greetings I wanted from a small, quiet library.

Cindy assisted me, and she was professional, kind, and helpful, even though I had NO idea where to start. She's as much an asset to the library as the library is to Muncie. Well done!

And they've got so much more than books. I visited today and was offered a tour of their Digital Media Lab. Patrons of the library can take advantage of several 3-D printers and only pay for supplies. Cricut machines and software are available to create card, paper products, tee shirt transfers, mugs and more. A state-of-the-art video studio and several audio studios are available for aspiring performers. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and proactively helpful. I got inspiration for an upcoming project that I am working on for a family reunion. One of the staffers printed off information that I needed for my project. The children's area of the library is huge, filled with books, discovery lab, reading areas and an activity room. Toddlers were playing with a few toys during my visit. Upstairs, I found a massive collection of videos and adult books. Several banks of computers were buzzing with patrons taking advantage of the free service. The staff was friendly and happy to show where to find specific books. Comfy seating and work spaces are scattered throughout the facility. Several conference rooms can be reserved for community use. The building is beautiful with a modern architecture that lets in lots of natural light. There is a featured art wall in the lower level. A bookstore and coffee shop are available near the main entrance. There is a parking garage on the south side of the building complete with EV plug stations. Restroom facilities are upscale and immaculate. The library is an easy 5 stars and sets a high standard for libraries.

Later, I was told by a friend who lives near this library, and who visits frequently to pick up her holds, that the library has been in a state of renovation for years. They fix one part and move onto another. It's always a construction site, it seems. That said, if you go downstairs, you'll be treated to a delightful children's area. No signs of construction or renovation here. There are lots of things to play with and explore, and even though it's in the basement, the area feels light and bright, with natural light coming in through the copious windows. This area of the library also has a Mamava nursing station! I love that. The whole area was quiet and peaceful when I visited. Another cool thing about this library: They have a zine that's produced by Noblesville / Fishers teens! It's free, and I found it on the first floor. I love that they're encouraging kids to create their own print media.

If you've been to the Michigan Road Branch, then you'll feel like this one is similar. The children's area is small but nice. There's a hill in the middle that kids can climb up and sit on, and some games and toys and things, as well as lots of books. The children's area is sort of open to the rest of the library, so it would be interesting to see what it looks like when there are lots of kids here for story time. There are lots of little nooks to hang out in, and lots of power outlets. There is also an outdoor reading area, which I saw was being used when I visited on a beautiful day. Another cool thing is that there's a drive-thru book drop, which is convenient. Overall, this is a much-needed improvement to this branch!
