Remembering 9/11

As we mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11, IndyPL is proud to partner with the Indianapolis International Airport by hosting a traveling exhibit of a sculpture that features a piece of steel from the World Trade Center. These were some of the books chosen to highlight the exhibit while at Central Library, as well as some new titles being added to our collection. #IndyPLAdults
