Downtown Debut in Indianapolis

摘要

The much-delayed Indianapolis—Marion County Public Library's (IMCPL) Central Library opened to the public on December 9, at 293,000 square feet plus a 183,000 square foot parking structure. The 1917 Cret Building (foreground of photo) was restored and adjoined to a new six-story Tower Building, connected by a 7000 square foot atrium, which houses information and circulation desks, an exhibition area, cafe, and more. The downtown facility holds one-third of the IMCPL collection (700,000 items) and offers 398 parking spaces, more than 900 patron seats, and over 300 public access computers.
