The Indiana State Library is a hidden gem nestled just a short walk from the State Capitol. Housed in a beautifully preserved Art Deco building, it’s not only a place for reading and research but also a peaceful retreat from the bustle of downtown. The grand interior, complete with ornate woodwork, murals, and marble features, gives it a timeless, almost museum-like atmosphere. The library offers an impressive collection focused on Indiana history and genealogy, making it a must-visit for researchers and curious visitors alike. Staff are knowledgeable and welcoming, and the quiet, studious vibe makes it perfect for a calm afternoon indoors. Whether you’re there to dig into historical archives or simply admire the architecture, the Indiana State Library is a worthy stop for locals and tourists alike.

Beautiful historic building! Artistic stained glass windows in the Grand Hall. Giant hand painted murals above doorways. Amazing Children's Reading Center, an Indiana Authors Room and a Genealogy Dept that rivals all others! If you've not been to the State Library, it's a must visit!

I bought a couple bicentennial coins last week at the Nook, toured the genealogy area, and picked up some free books then and today. Eric and Angie we both very kind and helpful. I plan to return to do some family tree research sometime soon.

What a great library. Anything and everything Indiana can be learned here. Great location to other areas of interest. If you find the main downtown library to be a little overwhelming, you may like the quaintness of this one. Good for group study...
