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.

As much time as I spent here on my last trip to Indiana I'm surprised I never got a review written…read morefor it. It's a very nice little Library, fairly small in size, with very helpful and friendly Librarians and helpers. I came in to do genealogy research and also occasionally to print out labels for items that sold on eBay while I was traveling. The library and it's equipment were very easy to navigate and I appreciated having them available. I found out a couple of days ago (September 2016) that there is a lady librarian named Rebecca who is active in genealogy and she is the one who posted some of the photos and information about my ancestors that I found on the internet. In case I don't connect with you in person Rebecca, thank you!

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!

Stunning- also, not surprised…read more I had heard for awhile that we would enjoy this library so on a recent day date with my four year old, we ventured north to check it out. We spent a majority of the time in the children's section which boasted several interactive play areas, a private room for events, a STEAM focussed room for workshops and hands-on learning and well-organized book stacks. I appreciated how many book covers they had easily on display and their shelving system. They also have a pet gecko in the kids area. We could have easily spent an hour plus here. Next time, I'll set up for remote work and check out the coffee shop and other seating areas in the library. They have free onsite garage parking, in true Carmel fashion

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.

It's been years since I've utilized a library membership, so I'm not sure if this is like standard practice now, but they also offer conveniences such as curbside pickup and home delivery (by appointment). I love having these options available to me and for those in the community who are not physically able to make it to a library location. They host lots of classes, workshops and fun activities as well. They are hosting a family history day in October for those interested in genealogy. There's lots of programs for your littles like art classes, live story times, Pokémon club, jr. chefs, birding club and more. There are teen writing challenges, neurodivergent hangouts, teen gourmet and video game clubs, to name a few. For adults, there are book clubs, first time home buyer's workshops, training and certification through the Hamilton County Health Dept, and courses for navigating the AI age. I'm excited to take advantage of some of these free resources and encourage others to do the same as well.
