Indianapolis Public Library Branch No. 6, also known as Spades Park Library (Carnegie), is a historic Carnegie library located in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was built in 1911–1912, and is a two-story, L-shaped, Italian Renaissance style masonry building on a raised basement. It has a terra cotta tile hipped roof, decorative brickwork, limestone accents, and elements of American Craftsman and Arts and Crafts style decorative elements. It was one of five libraries constructed from the $120,000 the Carnegie Foundation gave the City of Indianapolis in 1909 to be used towards the construction of six branch libraries. [2]: 4  The library remains in operation as the Spades Park Branch of the Indianapolis Public Library. [3]

The Spades Library underwent an extensive restoration in 1987. [4] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. [1]
