Build early literacy skills through stories, music, movement, and play.
EVPL programs are not designed to accommodate large groups from camps, daycares, and preschools without advance notice. If you would like to bring your group to one of our programs, please contact the branch at least five days in advance. Large groups that arrive without advance notice may not be able to fully participate.
Due to the historic nature of the EVPL East, West, and Stringtown buildings their meeting rooms are not fully ADA accessible. If you are interested in participating in a program that is not accessible, please contact that location to arrange alternate accommodations.
Located at 2000 W Franklin St., EVPL West was one of three original libraries built in Evansville with funds donated by Andrew Carnegie. Along with EVPL East, it was dedicated and opened to the public on January 1, 1913. Renovated in 2003, the building is surrounded by a park-like setting that is home to annual events like the Farmer’s Market and West Side Nut Club Fall Festival. EVPL West features a spacious meeting room, public access computers, and comfortable adult and youth areas.
