Angela Dubinger has been the Children’s Outreach Director at the Indiana State Library for nearly a year. As some of you may already know, Angela will be leaving to pursue a new position in Madison County. The following is an excerpt from our conversation discussing her time at the State Library and what she looks forward to in the future.
RB: Your last day is coming up on February 12th, does it seem like the last year has flown by?
AD: Yeah, it really does! I have so many emails to go through, kit requests, consultations and training requests that are a big part of what I do. So, it really fills up a lot of time when you add a sometimes heavy training schedule and you are out three times a week. I remember in September I booked way too many trainings, and you can’t know the first few months that you work here. Then here comes October and Indiana Library Federation Conference presentations and having to get those ready, but it was such a busy season.

On Monday, February 8, Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann announced that the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) and the Indiana Office of Tourism Development (IOTD) have launched the latest round of the Place Based Investment Fund (PBIF) which gives cities and towns throughout Indiana the opportunity to apply for grants to support community and economic development projects that focus on furthering quality of place initiatives.
PBIF offers communities the chance to apply for $20,000 - $50,000 through the competitive application process to fund creative projects that build upon the qualities of place that will make their local community even more attractive for visitors and residents.
“PBIF encourages community collaboration towards creating a quality of place where people want to live, work and raise a family,” said Lt. Governor Ellspermann who oversees both IOTD and OCRA. “These placemaking projects have a profound impact on attracting businesses, visitors and residents to our cities and towns which ultimately impacts the economic success of these communities and our state.”
PBIF, now in its fourth year, is a competitive matching grant program targeted towards communities promoting quality of life, improved tourism experiences and developing multi-purpose gathering places.
In the second 2015 funding round, the Town of Brownstown, City of Decatur, Town of Middlebury, City of New Castle, Town of New Haven, Owen County and Vigo County each received grants to fund parks, public venues and other quality of place projects.
For information on the Place Based Investment Fund (PBIF), visit www.in.gov/ocra/pbif.
Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann oversees the Indiana Office of Tourism Development (IOTD). Mark Newman serves as the agency's executive director. IOTD is dedicated to enhancing the economic vitality of Indiana through leadership and resource support to the Indiana travel industry. The tourism and hospitality industry is the sixth largest industry in the state (excluding government), is directly responsible for 144,200 jobs, generates over $2.25 billion in tax receipts and contributes $10.7 billion in revenue to Indiana businesses. For additional information on IOTD, visit www.visitindianatourism.com.
The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) works with local, state and national partners to provide resources and technical assistance to aid communities in shaping and achieving their vision for economic development.

I believe the “Next Indiana” will continue to be a place where writers and literature flourish, as this state has always been, ever since Lew Wallace published his best-selling novel Ben Hur. (It sold more than Uncle Tom’s Cabin in its time, and was revived by a hit movie version in the 1950s and rose to the top of best seller lists again.) Just as Ohio has produced more than its share of Presidents, Indiana has produced more than its share of great authors: Gene Stratton Porter, Booth Tarkington, James Whitcomb Riley, Theodore Dreiser, Lloyd C. Douglas, Ross Lockridge, Janet Flanner, James Alexander Thom, Susan Neville, and Kurt Vonnegut – and now John Green, just to name a few. And those that are on the way, that you’re just beginning to hear, like Ian Woollen.

Gale is happy to announce an important update to Testing & Education Reference Center (TERC) available at INSPIRE.in.gov. Now, this invaluable education and career database includes the full-length, timed practice exams and pre-diagnostic tests for the redesigned SAT Test. And on February 14, the SAT Online Course will also be updated. The online course prepares students for test day with expert guidance that builds both skills and confidence in the areas where most high schoolers need help.
TERC focuses on these important new aspects of the SAT exam:
• Knowledge and skills necessary for career /college readiness and success
• Real-life vocabulary and a student’s understanding of how words can shape meaning, tone, and impact
• Critical thinking and foundational math skills
These tests will help students master the steps needed to answer complex questions correctly and also learn to process the information necessary to respond quickly.
For more information, please visit the Gale website.
