Legend says that Pontiac was named after the street upon which the first location opened on October 17, 1922. The reality is that the third branch of ACPL was named after Odawa Chief Pontiac. It has faithfully served the south east side of Fort Wayne for over 100 years and three separate buildings. The current location was completed in 2004. It is nestled between two historical churches and offers a nod to their architectural significance with a high-ceilinged entrance and soaring arched window topped by a lovely round stained glass window. The pillar murals by Phresh Laundry are delightful pops of color. Pontiac is steps from a city bus hub, the Urban League and Hanna-Creighton BrightPoint. It boasts one of the first branch StoryScapes to promote early literacy through reading, singing, writing, talking and playing for our youngest patrons. Additionally, Pontiac features a Maker Lab equipped with a 3D printer, Cricut Maker 3, sewing machine, and other tools. Patrons of all ages can learn to use this equipment through various programs and during open hours. The public computers are popular service utilized by the community.
