Individuals of all ages are invited to spend an hour with vocalist and flutist Julie Houston as she puts her own spin on Brazilian bossa nova and jazz.
A local favorite, Julie has played at the Indy Jazz Fest and Broad Ripple Art Fair. She has also performed at such venues as the Chatterbox, the Jazz Kitchen, the Conrad Hilton, and Rick's Boatyard. This program is made possible by Friends of the Library through gifts to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.
Established as the Broadway Branch in 1924, the library served the neighborhood from a frame house on E. 42nd Street until 1958 when a 6,500-square-foot facility opened on Broadway Street. This aging and overcrowded building was replaced in August 2000 with the current 16,000-square-foot structure on College Avenue that was renamed the College Avenue Branch.
