The neighborhood’s first library opened in 1896 as Branch #3, the third oldest in the system. Subsequent moves occurred in 1906, when it became known as the Prospect Branch, as well as in 1941 and 1969.
In 1994, the library moved to its current location on the ground floor of the historic Fountain Block Building in the heart of the Fountain Square Business District and was renamed the Fountain Square Branch.
A panel of Indianapolis Public Library Board of Trustees proposed moving the library to the western part of Perry Township. The decision still has to be approved by the full library board on February 24.
Its current location will be taken over by the nonprofit Indy Reads adult literacy organization. The last day of service at the Fountain Square branch would be May 8.
