Looking to build community with other neurodiverse people? Join us in a lightly structured hangout session. Bring your crafts, your special interest, or just yourself. No talking required!
Join us in the community room at the Fort Ben Library for a casual hangout for Neurodiverse folks! Games, puzzles, crafts, and conversation starters will be provided, as well as a space for no talking & parallel play.
The 22,000 square foot Fort Ben Branch provides easy access to Library services and collections due to its location in a high-traffic community with access to public transportation. It includes community meeting spaces and study rooms, beautiful landscaping components, and walk-up, bike-up, and drive-up material return locations. Its roof-top solar photovoltaic system will provides 80% of the building's electricity needs. The Library was envisioned as part of a redevelopment plan since the land was decommissioned and transitioned from the U.S. military to the City of Indianapolis in the 1990s.
The Branch is the first library branch in the state of Indiana to become a Certified Autism Center™ by receiving an international autism accreditation through the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES).
