The Edward A. Block Family Library at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health is a great place for our patients and families to get away from the stresses they are dealing with on a daily basis. Our outpatients like to use the library to pass time between appointments, while our inpatients and their families enjoy taking a break from their hospital room to check out books, movies or play a game.
Location
The Library is located in the main hallway of the Riley Frank and Marian Snyder Family Resource Center in Room 1719.
Hours of operation
Monday - Friday: 9 am - 5 pm
