Is the library open to the public?

Krannert Memorial Library is open to the public. You are welcome to use our books and journals on the premises. As a service to the local community, the library also extends limited borrowing privileges to residents of the Indianapolis metropolitan area. Please note that the library’s media collection, online resources, and Internet access are available only to enrolled UIndy students and current staff and faculty.
