Indiana Humanities invites you to apply to bring an
award-winning Indiana author to your community as part of our Novel Conversations Speaker Program.
With support from The Glick Fund, a fund of the Central Indiana Community
Foundation, we’ll send current and past recipients of the Eugene and Marilyn
Glick Indiana Author Award to speak at 20 public libraries, schools, churches,
museums, community centers and other nonprofit organizations across the state.
Indiana Humanities will pay the speaking fees and provide participating
organizations with resources such as a communications toolkit, press release
template and event banner. Each participating organization is responsible for
working with its selected author to schedule the engagement and cover any
travel expenses. The deadline to apply is October 15, 2016, and author events
must be completed by June 30, 2017.
For more information, including a list of authors and an
online application, visit
our website.
Since 2011, the Indiana State Library, in partnership with Net
Literacy, has made over 1,200 free, rebuilt computers and monitors available to
public and institutional libraries in Indiana.
The Library Development Office is pleased to announce that once
again a batch of refurbished desktop computers are now available. These
computers are all Dell Optiplex 780s, running Windows 7 Professional and have a
minimum of 2GB ram, 40GB or larger hard drives, a DVD Drive, antivirus
software, an Ethernet card, and are internet ready. These computers come with
all of the required cables and mice. Flat screen monitors are also
available.
Quantities are limited and priority will be given to recipients
that can arrange to pick up the computers at the Indiana State Library (any
time through November 1, 2016). In a few cases, computers may be delivered to
requesting libraries, but recipients are strongly encouraged to pick up the
computers if possible. Electronics cannot be shipped via InfoExpress.
Please visit Net Literacy’s website http://www.netliteracy.org to
learn more about the organization and their efforts to improve Digital Literacy
nationwide. The Indiana State Library, in partnership with Net Literacy,
is once again making free, rebuilt public access computers available to
libraries. These computers are available to any public or institutional library
in Indiana (sorry, but schools are not eligible for this service).
If you would like to request computer(s) for your library, please
complete this short online questionnaire by clicking

The Mooresville Public Library is celebrating its
2nd year anniversary collaboration
with the Link Observatory Space Science Institute. The Link Observatory Space Science Institute
offers a monthly educational program at the Library and afterwards a free shuttle takes
participants to the Observatory where weather permitting they can view the night sky through the Observatory telescope. The library has reported they have over 200
participants at each monthly program! Check their website for a list of the upcoming program dates by clicking here.
The Indiana State Library has recently received a generous
donation from William Douthit. The donation consists of atlases and
globes made by the George F. Cram Company. Cram was a
long standing Indianapolis company. To view the full blog article with all the
pictures please click here.
This donation has added new Cram company catalogs to the Indiana
State Library trade catalog collection. Manufacturing and product
catalogs are a great resource for collectors and company researchers. We
are always accepting donations of catalogs from Hoosier manufactures, so keep
us in mind as you run across such items!
If you are interesting in donating material to the Manufacturing and product catalogs please contact Monique Howell, mohowell@library.in.gov, 317-234-7270.
Carla D. Hayden will be sworn in as the 14th Librarian
of Congress in a historic ceremony in the Thomas Jefferson Building Wednesday,
Sept. 14 at noon. The ceremony will be broadcast live on the Library of
Congress YouTube channel.
The YouTube broadcast will be captioned.
The ceremony marks two milestones: Hayden will become the first
woman and the first African-American to serve as Librarian of Congress.
She plans to take the oath using a book, drawn from Library collections,
with historic connections of its own: the Lincoln Bible.
