Mayor to announce Indy’s Choice for One Book, One City
INDIANAPOLIS - Mayor Bart Peterson will announce the selection for "One Book, One City – Indy’s Choice Volume 5," the annual citywide effort to bring Indianapolis residents together to celebrate literature and recognize the importance of reading.
The Mayor will be joined by Chris Cairo, director of project development of the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library, and Joyce Sommers, executive director of the Indianapolis Art Center.
WHEN: TOMORROW - Wednesday, April 11
10:45 – 11:15 a.m.
WHERE: Indianapolis Art Center; 820 E. 67th St.
This year’s selection for One Book, One City will pay homage to literary legend and Indianapolis native son Kurt Vonnegut.
In collaboration with the citywide "Year of Vonnegut" celebration, the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library invited residents to select their favorite Vonnegut book from a list of 25 titles. The top five Vonnegut books were announced last month and included Cat’s Cradle, A Man Without A Country, Palm Sunday, The Sirens of Titan, and Slaughterhouse Five.
Residents have voted to select one of those five titles, and tomorrow’s announcement of Indy’s Choice will provide the result that vote.
One Book, One City, a collaboration between the City of Indianapolis and the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library, was created to unite the community around reading and discussing one book.
