This 6th anniversary event is a celebration of the accomplishments of the Center for Black Literature & Culture at Central Library.
Standing on the shoulders of founding leader Nichelle M. Hayes and the Indianapolis Public Library's African American History Committee, the CBLC remains a place for all to learn about those of the African Diaspora, and for those of African roots to see themselves reflected in powerful and positive ways. This year’s event will contain many different attractions including a kids corner and 360 photo booth.
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.
