Hawthorne Branch Library No. 2, also known as Hawthorne Education Annex, is a historic Carnegie library building located in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana. Built in 1909–1911, with funds provided by the Carnegie Foundation, it is a one-story, rectangular, Classical Revival style brick and limestone building on a raised basement. It has a truncated hipped roof and features a slightly projecting pavilion housing a round arch. It was renovated in 1955, after its closure as a library, and again in 1999.{{cite web| url = https://secure.in.gov/apps/dnr/shaard/welcome.html| title = Indiana State Historic Architectural and Archaeological Research Database (SHAARD) | publisher = Department of Natural Resources, Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology | format = Searchable database| access-date = 2016-08-01}} Note: This includes {{cite web| url =https://secure.in.gov/apps/dnr/shaard/r/223b7/N/Hawthorne_Branch_Library_No_2_Marion_CO_Nom.pdf| title = National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form: Hawthorne Branch Library No. 2| access-date = 2016-08-01| author=Jennifer Morris and Paul Diebold| date=February 1999}} and Accompanying photographs{{rp|5, 12}}
