INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Public Library now has a brand new location.
The library held the grand opening of its Fort Ben branch Saturday morning. It's located on 56th Street near Lee Road, not far from Fort Harrison State Park.
The branch is expected to see around 200,000 visits each year and the library is hoping its grand opening is just the beginning of what's to come.
"It has been absolutely wonderful. Better than I could have possibly imagined. We were anticipating a crowd and I think we got more than we could even hope for," said Shelby Peak, the branch manager of the new library.
The new library branch also features an exhibit about the history of Fort Harrison. The Fort Ben Branch is the Indianapolis Public Library's 25th location.
