Join us in the Center for Black Literature & Culture to explore the rich history of quilting and African American storytelling with Dr. Tony Dickerson from the Akoma Ntoso Modern Quilt Guild of Central Indiana.
The Library has books, music, movies, and digital collections featuring Black authors and creators and the Black experience. If you are in need of suggestions for what to check out next, here are some great ways to get started – re-read a classic or favorite, find out about an author you have never read, reflect on what you remember, or discover a piece of history you didn’t know.

As the hub of the Indianapolis Public Library system, Central Library showcases renowned architecture and services. The original 1917 building, designed by Paul Cret and constructed of Indiana limestone in the Greek Doric style, was considered one of the most outstanding secular buildings in the U.S. Its six-story glass and steel-framed addition, designed by Evans Woollen, opened in 2007.
