INDIANAPOLIS — Six new IPS schools join The Indianapolis Public Library’s Shared System in the fall of 2023, granting students easier access to physical and digital resources in the classroom. The Shared System is an interlibrary collaboration between The Indianapolis Public Library, 59 schools, and five special libraries, including three museums. The schools function as a branch of The Library, allowing students to use the IndyPL’s catalog to request books, DVDs, and CDs owned by IndyPL or other Shared System members to be delivered by IndyPL to their school libraries.
The list of IPS libraries entering the Shared System this fall is:
• James Russell Lowell #51
• Center for Inquiry #70 at Mary Nicholson
• Theodore Potter #74
• Center for Inquiry # 79 at Carl Wilde
• Merle Sidener Academy
• H L Harshman Middle School
In addition to joining the Shared System, IPS school libraries are removing outdated materials to make way for new materials. This will establish a more equitable baseline, adding new books to schools in need of popular, engaging materials.
