The Fort Ben Branch, located at 9330 East 56th Street, will fill the service gap between the Lawrence Branch on the northeast side and the Warren Branch on the far east side.
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Public Library has opened a new branch on the northeast side of Indianapolis.
“When the fort was returned back to the city in 1995, one of the things people asked for right away was a library. Years went by and today we’re finally open,” Branch Manager Shelby Peak said. “There are some folks in the community that have been waiting over 20 years for this branch, so I think it really meant a lot to the community,” Peak said.
The Fort Ben Branch is also the first library branch in Indiana to undergo training provided by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards , making it a certified autism center.
