Stop by and say hello to Jackie Nytes, the CEO of The Indianapolis Public Library!
Jackie is stopping by every Library branch throughout the month of May, and she wants to hear from patrons and community members to see how we are doing, how we can better serve you, and share our new strategic plan. Stop by for an informal chat, and check out a book or movie while you are there!
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.
