The ruts fill up with water and mosquitoes. I have bought bags of dirt and grass seed several times and filled it in. I have put up flags and little wire fencing. I have called the office to voice my complaint, I have driven down to the branch to do the same and nothing. So, yet today, it was done again. I saw the delivery person and asked him about it. He said "yea, I got stuck in the mud...not sure what you can do, maybe fill it in with sand or something" Are you kidding me? it's part of the yard. So, up to me to keep spending the money to fix it and watch it get torn up again. Not!!!!

However, nine months ago we moved into a new neighborhood and in those nine months, my mail has been wrongly delivered no less than 10 times! Yesterday I went into the post office to inquire about an item that was marked "delivered" but it wasn't in my box. The male supervisor looked it up and saw where it was delivered to by mistake (AGAIN!) and contacted the mail carrier in the area who was *supposed* to go get it from the wrong house and bring it to my house. Guess what? STILL no package today. It's to the point where it's ridiculous when it comes to wondering if I'll get my mail or not. My various neighbors have been pretty good about bringing mail to my house that was delivered to them but IT'S NOT THEIR JOB! I truly hope that the delivery people in my neighborhood can do a better job but I don't have high hopes. I don't know what my next course of action can be. I'll have to research if I can file a complaint with the USPS about all of this if it continues.

Esthetically, the floor is spacious and open and has comfortable lounge chairs to sit in that are set up in a round of four, in addition to table seating. There are wall/floor plugs for charging at the table areas with the comfortable lounge chairs as well. There are bathrooms that are right there off the library floor, so there is easy convenient access when you have to go. This library is not modern or cutting edge and I am not even certain of the quality of their book inventory, but the staff is nice and the place is welcoming. With art displayed on the second floor for viewing and ample parking, if studying, reading or exploring all the benefits a library has to offer a community, the Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library is nice and a solid location for my dad and I to kill some time....from time to time.

I had the opportunity to visit the Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library today as part of a…read moretraining for work. Every time I make my way to Plainfield, a Westside town just inside Hendricks County, I become kind of awed at just how much it has grown since my childhood when I spent countless weekends there with family. This library has existed in one way or another since 1901. It began with a reading room and 414 books and coal oil lamps lighting the reading room at night. By 1904, the collection had grown to 1,278 books and the library opened in a new $1,500 structure. Plainfield's first public library facility opened June 4, 1901, in rented rooms at 120 East Main Street in Plainfield. A group of private citizens, incorporated as the Plainfield Library Association, gathered 414 gift books for public use and started the Plainfield Public Library. Coal oil lamps lit the Reading Room at night. By January 27, 1904, the book collection numbered 1,278 and the library reopened in a new frame building at 130 North Vine Street. The $1,500 structure was financed by personal subscriptions from Association members, gifts of local business people and the profits from minstrel shows. A year later, Plainfield incorporated as a town and the library became part of the town. In 1913, Andrew Carnegie funding allowed the building of a new and much larger library. In 1916, the library started the very first bookmobile in Indiana. After 55 years in the Carnegie Library, the library moved to its current location (in 1968) at the corner of Simmons Street and Stafford Road. In 1987, an expansion was completed. The library is currently undergoing some major HVAC upgrades. The library is on two levels. The upstairs holds meeting rooms, room for fine arts, and offices. I was largely on the second level and, yes, there's an elevator for those who need it and a cool spiral staircase for those who don't. The library houses genealogy databases, an Indiana room, a Plainfield photograph database, a COVID oral history, meeting rooms, study rooms, a cool children's area on the first floor, a book bike, little free libraries, a variety of collections, and the usual technology we expect. The library also has its own podcast. The library has the following apps - Libby, Overdrive, Kanopy, Beanstack, Hoopla, Freading, and others. They also offer home delivery (in Plainfield). I really loved this space. My meeting space was fairly large (though could have used a little more table space) and I loved that a microphone was available. We also had room to offer ASL in our training. There are soft drink and candy vending machines on the first floor, though I did note that the candy machine was almost empty and not working. As a public library, accessibility is predictably strong here with appropriate parking spaces, curb cuts, and other resources. I will note that I don't see accessibility mentioned on the website (which would be helpful). Everyone I talked to was super friendly and I loved the art gallery space. This is a really lovely library and I kind of hope I have to return for another meeting in the future.

Like many other courthouses in Indiana, the Hendricks County Courthouse sits prominently on a grand…read moresquare surrounded by Victorian era commercial buildings. Danville was named the Hendricks County seat because the city sits directly in the middle of the county. The neoclassical style courthouse was designed by Clarence Martindale (Indianapolis) and constructed by P. H. McCormack Co. (Columbus, Indiana). The exterior is made from Indiana limestone. The building opened in 1914. The interior features Italian marble throughout, including the spiral staircases that ascend three levels. The stained glass in the beautiful dome and other glass features was fabricated by Indiana Glass out of Kokomo. Victorian-era light fixtures were imported from France. A War honor roll lines a wall in the center atrium of the courthouse. The Deputies that monitor the building standout from other courthouses in Indiana. The deputies are intensely proud of the courthouse and willing to share information. One of the deputies gave a me fabulous tour of the closed Circuit Court. I was humbled by her kindness. The County has done a remarkable job of preserving the Circuit Court in the original 1914 condition. A priceless and moving mural by Edgar Alvin Payne and Elsie Palmer Payne of George Rogers Clark's 1779 Liberation of Vincennes hangs in the rear of the courtroom. The original Victorian piano used for weddings sits under the mural. Benches and chairs are all original. Outside the main entrance is a replica of the Liberty Bell. On the northeast corner of the square stands a modest War Memorial listing the names of those lost in combat. A lovely fountain stands on the northwest corner of the square. There is plenty of free parking around the square. The public entrance is fully accessible. This is one of my favorite courthouses that I've visited. The fabulous deputy staff and the amazing interior put the building at the top of must see list for anyone that lives history.

The current courthouse is the fourth to be constructed. It was completed in 1914. The three story building is constructed with Indiana limestone and faces north. The center sections have a portico with an arched entrance and two large columns that rise from a balcony on the second story. The interior has a large rotunda with a stained glass skylight. There are a number of other interior decorations in the courtrooms but those were closed on this Friday afternoon. Maybe I'll visit next time when it's open!
