Want to explore our fair City without ever leaving your house? Why not research Indianapolis' history, explore its neighborhoods, or discover and explore environmental charts and maps. If you want to know more, a myriad of hyperlinks will lead you to a treasure trove of archival material around the State, too!
The Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School Library has a one-of-a-kind relationship with the Indianapolis Public Library (IndyPL). As a "Shared System Partner", BJPS students use their own IndyPL library card to borrow items not only from the BJPS Library, but from any IndyPL branch as well as materials from other Partner libraries around the City. IndyPL also provides essential digital research tools for students, including databases, eBooks, digital audiobooks, video streaming, and SAT & ACT prep tools. Students are free to use their IndyPL library cards both at school and at the public library. Even if you aren't an Indianapolis resident, your status as a Brebeuf student allows you to function as an IndyPL patron during your high school years.
BJPS Library Mission:
It is the mission of Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School library to empower students to be critical thinkers and ethical consumers of information by encouraging them to reflect upon their discoveries and then use their discoveries to create new and enduring knowledge. In addition, we aspire for students to become enthusiastic readers as they develop an appreciation of library services which endures into adulthood.
