Indiana State Library


With 236 library districts - and more than 400 individual library buildings - Indiana provides all Hoosiers with a path to knowledge. From outdoor library gardens to gem collections to the Rolland Center for Lincoln Research, Indiana libraries showcase many unique learning opportunities. This passport features 160 main libraries and branches to explore. With over 100 Carnegie libraries, Indiana has more than any other state. When participants check in to these libraries, they will be entered into a quarterly drawing for the chance to win a prize package, including, but not limited to, tickets to historical tours, sites, museums and theaters; architecture books; gift cards from local and national merchants; and confections. Beginning in 2023, participants will also have the opportunity to trade in earned check-in points for a limited edition Indiana Library Passport mug. This program is 100% free, however a gate fee will apply in order to visit the library at the Museum of 20th Century Warfare in Fort Harrison State Park in Marion County. All prizes are while supplies last.
