The Indiana Civil Rights Commission will educate Hoosiers about their protected state and federal civil rights.
The Haughville Branch will serve as a satellite location for the commission's complaint intake program. With an Intake Specialist onsite, Hoosiers will be able to file discrimination complaints, gather educational resources, and get their questions answered about protection from discrimination.
The longest continuously-operating branch in the IndyPL system began on the city’s east side in 1896 but moved to the village of Haughville after 1897. The branch’s many homes included the former town hall on Germania Avenue in which a fire in 1904 partially destroyed the building. After the fire, a storefront in the Michigan Plaza Shopping Center was constructed that operated until 2003, when the current 12,000-square-foot library opened on West Michigan Street.
