Adults with little or no computer experience or those with a computer-related question are invited to drop in for a free coaching session with Library computer lab assistants. This program is made possible by Friends of the Library through gifts to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.
Topics include creating an email account, using the mouse and keyboard, performing a search, formatting a document, and using a spreadsheet.
The first library to serve the neighborhood opened in 1957 as the Emerson Branch. This frame house near East 38th Street and North Emerson Avenue soon became too small to meet the neighborhood's needs, leading to the construction of a 7,500-square-foot branch at the same location in 1962. The Emerson Branch closed its doors in 2003 when the current 16,000-square-foot library opened as the East Thirty-Eighth Street Branch.
