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!

Our library has something for everyone. There's a seed library for gardeners. There are 8 Adult book clubs. There are computer classes for teens and adults. For Teens there are video game clubs, a dance party and crafts. Our library offers incredibly diverse offerings that are inclusive. From activities for neurodivergent teens, a variety of events for children and English-speaking classes led by volunteers for adults. The library also has activities for Welcoming Week, September 13-22.

This is, hands down, one of my favorite libraries. I've visited much larger libraries with several…read morelevels that included just about any volume you could imagine. I've been to older libraries that smelled like history and legacy (that statement makes 100% sense in my head!). Yet, the main branch of Hancock County Library is the perfect mix of everything I want in a library. I am fortunate to call it my local library. I have fond memories of bringing my kids to the children's area (which is fabulous) to play, look at the salt water aquarium, or take part in a free LEGO workshop. Before we could stream any movie our hearts desire, we used to visit the library and let everyone pick out a movie for the weekend. When we first moved back from Alabama and lived in a small apartment in Greenfield, we looked forward to visiting the incredible Book Mobile that visited our complex each week. You can even request materials that will be delivered on the Book Mobile (a godsend when you have small children, like we did at the time!). When I used to do freelance writing and marketing, I would reserve a quiet room to get all of my work completed. It was the nicest office I think I ever worked in :) My son would even join me sometimes and play in the corner with his Hot Wheels. The staff is always kind, warm, and helpful. And the building is beautiful. I'm thankful for this library, and what it has meant to me and my family over the years. (I didn't even realize I had all of these memories until I started to write this review! I'm not crying; you're crying!) Libraries are one of the greatest contributions to society. Whether you are looking for a good book, need to get some work done, or just sitting and staring out the large picture windows... your local library is always there for you. And the Hancock County Library is among the best.

I wanted to go to the Chinese Orchestra event but things came up. I learned about the volunteer fair through where I volunteer. This year will be the second Japan Spring Fest on Sunday May 3. I can explore the event and serve too. Also, I know now how to get involve with Christkindlmarkt. If the time would work out, I would not mind walking beside a disabled kid on a horse while a therapist treats on the other side. I might volunteer at one of that library bookstore's 2 large book sales. At the Lunar New Year celebration, I tried calligraphy writing in Chinese. I consumed chicken dumplings, green tea, and a piece of candy. I saw one girl play an unusual instrument like a petite cello. The Friends of the Library bookstore changed location and looks like they need more room. They sell board games, movies, books, library swag, etc. Prices are a bit lower than Half Price Books, but not the same level of collection. They now have a community art exhibit near the entry to the main section of the library. I wish they had water bottle fillers that sense your bottle and not something to continually press. I like their True Air scent in the huge, private restrooms in the children's department. I need to continue to look at their calendar on events.

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.

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.

When Danville Public Library, also known as Danville-Center Township Public Library, was first…read morecreated in 1902, Danville was home to Central Normal College. Local businessmen felt that the community should also finally have its own public library. Danville received a grant from philanthropist Andrew Carnegie (the first of four Carnegie libraries in Hendricks County), and the library was birthed in 1903 with 1,000 books. Over the years, the library has grown with additions in 1979, 1999, and in 2016. Now, the library offers books, audiobooks, e-books, DVDs, magazines, newspapers, streaming digital services, and computer access/free wi-fi. While the library wasn't accessible in its early days, with each subsequent addition that has improved. While you still get the historic facade (and lots of steps), it's pretty easy to get into this two-story building now. As Katherine A. noted in her review, adult books (get your mind out of the gutter) are on the second floor, kids are on the first floor, and there are study areas and a classroom. There's a small parking lot and the area around the library is pretty good with access. I'm also a big fan of the Indiana Room, a source for genealogy (especially Hendricks county related) with cemetery records, court records, land records, church records, newspapers, and more. As an out-of-towner, sometimes you feel awkward when you go into a different town/city's library. I do it often when I'm on one of my Tenderness Tour events because they tend to be a safe place to rest, use internet, and use a restroom. Yet, I found folks here to be friendly and welcoming. I definitely would return when I'm in the area. Yes, this is a smaller library. If you're expecting to compare it to Indy's libraries, you'll likely be disappointed (except some of Indy's smaller branches like Spades). However, it's a lovely library with friendly people and even the patrons I met here were quite hospitable.

The original limestone neoclassical building stands as an entrance to the modern facility today. The facility has undergone three expansions and renovations over the years to modernize and accommodate the growing collection of books, audio and video collections and more. The most recent renovation was completed on 2017. Most of the historical features of the Carnegie interior were removed or relocated during the modernization . One of the original marble fireplaces was moved to the Genealogy Room on the second floor with some of the early paintings. A second fireplace mantle was relocated to the Children's play/work room. A new main entrance was added to increase accessibility to the facility. Adult books are stored on the 2nd floor, while children's books and a play area are located on the lower floor. A classroom and study area are also located on the first floor. Library administration has offices on the second floor as well. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and willing to describe the history of the facility. The library sponsors summer reading and other programs throughout the year. There is a small dedicated parking lot behind the building and street parking around the building.
