Review:
The Indiana State Library is housed within a beautiful historic limestone building in Indianapolis' downtown district, originally constructed in 1934. The library's history extends back to 1825 and today houses an extensive public collection of volumes related to the city's civic and social history, including genealogical records, Indiana history volumes, civic and government documents, and rare books and manuscripts. The limestone and walnut building showcases splendid midcentury American architecture, including impressive stained-glass windows and colorful murals. Visitors are welcome to explore the library's architecture, peruse its volumes, and use services such as its State Data Center, Talking Books Braille Library, and genealogy services.
