Preschoolers ages 2 - 6 are invited to join Silly Safaris for a camp out and to meet their favorite forest animals. Pet and hold some amazing animals and enjoy campfire stories! This program is made possible by Friends of the Library through gifts to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.
The Brightwood Branch opened in 1901 as the sixth public library in Indianapolis. It served the Brightwood community at several locations along Station Street, one street west of its current North Sherman Avenue storefront site which opened in 1972. A 1996 renovation at this location doubled the size of the branch to 5,400 square feet. In 2020, a brand-new branch building, across the street from the previous branch, was completed and re-named as the Martindale-Brightwood Branch.
