First Friday, March 2, 6–9PM

On Friday, March 2, The Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library will be open from 6PM to 9PM. We will be making our regular appearance on the Indianapolis Downtown Artists & Dealers Association First Friday Gallery Tour! If you want to visit the library in the evening rather than during our regular business hours, this is your opportunity.

We will host renowned Indiana journalist and author James Alexander Thom. Thom is the author of several works of historical fiction. Two of his novels, Panther in the Sky and Follow the River have been made into films. He will discuss the craft of writing. Also speaking will be Kim Mezger, who will discuss how to start chapters of the KVML at colleges and universities.
