The 2016 Indiana State Library
Bookmark Design Competition is supported by the Indiana Center for the Book and
the Library
Development Office.
The State Library reached out this past weekend, hosting
a booth at the 2016 Indiana Association of Home Educators (IAHE) Convention.
The convention ran from April 28 to 30 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds with an
estimated 4,000 home educators in attendance. The participants attended
the workshops and browsed the exhibition hall looking for ideas, partnerships,
and answers to their homeschooling questions.
ISL staff including Daina Bohr, Connie Bruder, Christy
Franzman, and Steven Schmidt were on hand to demonstrate the many services
available from the State Library, including INSPIRE, Indiana Memory and the
Hoosier State Chronicles. They also passed out bookmarks, magnets and
lots and lots of ISL pens.
Wanda Bennett, Director of Ladoga-Clark Twp. Public Library
for 18 years, will be retiring from the library on May 31, 2016. The
Library Board of Trustees are holding an open house for Wanda on Sunday, May
15th from 2-4 at the Old Norma Building in Ladoga for a retirement celebration.
Everyone is invited!
Debbie Clapp has been hired as the new director at
Ladoga-Clark Twp. Public Library.

Happy Birthday, Indiana! Two hundred years ago, Indiana’s Enabling Act was passed by
Indiana’s House of Representatives and approved by its Senate. The Act was
signed by then U.S. President James Madison, Jr. on April 19. The Enabling Act
provided for the election of delegates to the constitutional convention on May
13. It allowed the state to form its constitution and state government, and to
choose a name. It also defined geographic boundaries, assigned voting rights,
and established state taxes. Thanks to our friends at the Indiana Historical Bureau, we can read
about this and other Indiana
Documents Leading to Statehood on the IHB website. The Territorial Papers
which contain the original document of this Act are held at the Indiana State Archives. For more information
about Indiana’s 200th birthday, see the website of the Indiana Bicentennial Commission.
