The 6th Annual CBLC Book Fest will offer a glimpse of the African American experience through arts, literature, and storytelling. This year’s author presentation is called Afrofuturism: A Glimpse into the Black Future.

The celebration is inspired by the work of Octavia Butler and other authors and artists. We are bringing together poets, visual artists, storytellers, musicians, and book clubs to emphasize cultural literacy! 

Juneteenth is a national holiday that celebrates the emancipation of enslaved Texans two years after the signing of the emancipation proclamation in 1863. Inspired by the work of Octavia Butler and other authors and artists, we are bringing together poets, visual artists, storytellers, musicians, and book clubs to emphasize cultural literacy!

About the branch

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.
