As part of IndyPL's Seed Library, browse the Library's offerings of seed collections that you can check out. The Pike Branch has several Indiana native plant seeds not found at other branches. This event will feature half-hour presentations from organizational supporters of our Seed Library.
Supporters include Purdue Extension Marion County, the Indiana Native Plant Society, and Indianapolis Food Not Lawns. This program is made possible by Friends of the Library through gifts to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.
The second county branch in the library system opened in 1967 as the Westlane Branch in the Westlane Shopping Center on North Michigan Road. In 1974, the library purchased 2.76 acres on Zionsville Road from MSD Pike Township for construction of the current 13,000-square-foot Pike Branch that opened in 1986. Its design was cited by the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects. The branch was remodeled and expanded to 20,000 square feet in 1999.
