Learn how to become an effective Eastern Bluebird landlord in this workshop hosted by Indiana Audubon.
This program begins with a presentation on best practices for attracting and supporting bluebirds, followed by a hands-on activity where each participant assembles their own bluebird nest box. The handmade cedar kits, crafted by retired Indiana Dunes National Park Superintendent Paul Labovitz, include all the parts, nails and instructions needed. Participants will need to bring a hammer from home. Registration is required. One kit per family, please. Adults are required to stay with children for the duration of the program.
Please note: the nest box building portion will involve indoor hammering and may be loud. This event is not designed as a sensory-friendly program.

About the branch
The Lawrence Branch opened in 1967 on North Franklin Road in a storefront previously occupied by the Lawrence Post Office. It was the first branch to open within an incorporated town in Marion County. Rapid population growth demonstrated the need for a larger, permanent facility to serve the northeast side. A 3.44 acre site was purchased from MSD Lawrence Township for a new 13,500-square-foot library that opened in 1983.
Renovated in 2020, the Lawrence Branch re-opened to changes that maximized access to the Library’s services and collections, created engaging and functional spaces for those of all ages, and increased access to new technology. The project also provided group study and tutoring areas, improved lighting, more outlets for charging stations, and updates to the entrance, public restrooms and interior finishes.
