Adults are invited to learn how to make their own rain barrel during this free workshop led by a representative from Express Yourself Rain Barrels. There is a limit of one rain barrel per household, and two participants per rain barrel.
This program is sponsored by Covanta and Friends of the Library through gifts to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.
What was known as the Shelby Branch began in 1918 when the library was housed in old School No. 34. A new branch was constructed in 1965 at the current Shelby Street location. Following a major renovation, the branch reopened in 2011 as the Garfield Park Branch, reflecting the desire of residents to refer to the branch by their beloved and adjacent Garfield Park.
