SUMMARY:Indiana State Library presents Author Ryan Cole
DESCRIPTION:The Indiana State Library Young Readers Center and Indiana Affiliate Center for the Book are pleased to announce an exciting upcoming event!  \n \nThe Center for the Book in the Library of Congress is a community of 56 Affiliated Centers existing to promote reading\, libraries and literacy across the country. There is an Affiliate Center for the Book in each of the 50 states\, the District of Columbia\, Puerto Rico\, the U.S. Virgin Islands\, Guam\, American Samoa and Northern Marianas. These Centers also elevate and advocate for each state’s unique literary heritage – developed by writers whose works reflect distinctively American places. Their stories\, novels\, essays\, poems and other written works\, rooted in the nation’s extraordinary diversity of people and geography\, are often featured in the programs supported by the Affiliated Centers for the Book. These Centers engage\, inspire\, and inform diverse audiences through author talks\, web-based programs\, podcasts\, videos\, writing challenges for young people\, book festivals and other events designed to advance appreciation of the written word. \nThe Indiana Affiliate Center for the Book is housed at the Indiana Young Readers Center at the Indiana State Library. The Indiana Affiliate Center for the Book (ICB) has several exciting programs that Hoosiers can get involved with to promote literacy. We jury the Firefly Early Literacy Book Award\, we have interactive displays and kiosks to teach about the Library of Congress and literacy\, we host the Indiana Statehood Day writing contest and the Letters About Literature writing contest\, we manage a program to offer storytime\, STEAM\, book\, Lego\, and escape experience kits for teachers and librarians across the state\, we host events and author visits\, we created the Indiana Literary Places Map\, and we support a collect of materials for young people written and illustrated by Indiana Authors and Illustrators. \nEach year the Affiliated Centers for the Book participate in the National Book Festival in Washington DC. Each Center for the Book Affiliate will staff a booth in the Festival’s Roadmap to Reading area to promote reading\, libraries and literacy in their state. Annually\, these Affiliated Centers for the Book select “Great Reads from Great Places.” Each affiliate chooses two titles. In most cases\, these books—one for youth and one for adults—are written by authors from their state or territory\, take place in their state or territory and/or celebrate local culture and heritage. In addition\, this year\, in honor of America’s 250th Semiquincentennial\, affiliate centers were encouraged to choose a title that connects to that theme in some way. The Indiana Affiliate Center for the Book works with Indiana Humanities to select titles. \nThe Indiana Affiliate Center for the Book is delighted to announce its National Book Festival Great Read titles for 2026!   The Last Adieu: Lafayette’s Triumphant Return\, the Echoes of Revolution\, and the Gratitude of the Republic by Ryan L. Cole is the 2026 Great Read Adult Selection. This book fits perfectly with the America’s 250th Semiquincentennial. When the Marquis de Lafayette returned to the United States in 1824\, the aging hero of the American Revolution was defeated politically and distraught over the fate of liberty in Europe. He set sail one last time from France for America after an absence of forty years. He was welcomed with the grandest celebration the young republic would ever stage as he traveled to every state in the Union and met with parades and delirious crowds. \nLearn more about National Book Festival and Great Reads here: https://blog.library.in.gov/category/indiana-young-readers-center/  In addition\, each state or territory has the opportunity to host “Festival Near You” events in their home states. \nAuthor Ryan Cole\, from Indiana\, will visit the Indiana State Library on Saturday\, September 12 at 2 p.m! \nMr. Cole has delivered talks at venues such as George Washington’s Mount Vernon and the Library of Congress and his writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal. \nThis event is free and will take place in person at the Indiana State Library in the Indiana Author’s Room\, with an option to attend virtually. Registration is required for the virtual presentations. \nWe are excited to celebrate these “Great Reads” and great authors with the people in Indianapolis and across Indiana (and anywhere!) via zoom! \nThe Indiana State Library is located at 315 W. Ohio St. in downtown Indianapolis. \n  \n
