📖 About Greenwood Public Library
The Greenwood Public Library serves Greenwood, Indiana, the largest city in Johnson County and one of the fastest-growing communities in the Indianapolis metropolitan area. Located at 310 S. Meridian Street, the library operates as an independent public library funded through its own taxing district and participates in Evergreen Indiana, giving cardholders access to millions of shared items across more than 130 Indiana member libraries. Its mission — to actively enrich lives, promote discovery, and foster personal growth — is backed by extended weeknight hours, a creative makerspace called The Studio, and a robust suite of online databases powered by INSPIRE, the statewide resource funded by the Indiana General Assembly. Residents can borrow e-books through Libby/OverDrive, stream films via the library's dedicated Kanopy portal, and access Ancestry.com Library Edition and Consumer Reports at no charge. The Greenwood Library Foundation supports additional programming and fundraising.
