About the branch

Kouts Public Library has been a fixture in the town of Kouts for over 40 years. In 1995, our current building was constructed, anchoring the south end of town. We offer a wealth of amenities to the citizens of Kouts and neighboring townships, including programming for youth and adults, meeting room spaces, wi-fi, and computers. The Indiana History Room contains a collection of artifacts and documents related to the town's history and its founding families. Our collections of materials have grown from books and periodicals to include movies, audiobooks, ebooks, music, streaming videos, and more.
