SUMMARY:Voices and Votes Book Club: “The Women of the Copper Country”
DESCRIPTION:As Kirkus Reviews wrote\, this book is a work of “historical fiction that feels uncomfortably relevant today.” Author Mary Doria Russell takes readers to Calumet\, Michigan in 1913 and follows “‘America’s Joan of Arc’—the courageous woman who started a rebellion by leading a strike against the largest copper mining company in the world.”

SUMMARY:Common Read Conversation: Daniel Kraus and Dr. Abby Fraeman
DESCRIPTION:What can a 75-year-old science fiction classic teach us about the future? \n\nTechnology promises to connect us\, but can it also drive us further apart? Seventy-five years after its publication\, Ray Bradbury’s The Illustrated Man continues to spark conversations about some of the most important questions facing society today: How is technology changing our lives and relationships? What do we fear\, and what do we hope for\, as we look toward the future? How do imagination\, family\, and community shape the world we create together? \nJoin Pulitzer Prize-winning and New York Times bestselling author Daniel Kraus\, NASA planetary scientist Dr. Abby Fraeman\, deputy project scientist for the Curiosity rover mission\, and award-winning Indianapolis author and Afrofuturist Maurice Broaddus for an engaging conversation that explores the enduring relevance of Bradbury’s work and the intersections of science\, storytelling\, technology\, and humanity. \nThis free public event is the culminating experience of the 2026 Indianapolis Common Read\, a city-wide initiative that has brought together readers\, students\, educators\, libraries\, book clubs\, workplaces\, and community organizations through a shared reading experience. Throughout the fall\, participants have explored The Illustrated Man and its themes through reading groups\, community discussions\, educational programming\, and cultural events designed to foster dialogue and connection across Central Indiana. \nPresented by IU Indianapolis in partnership with the Ray Bradbury Center\, Indiana Humanities\, Indiana Life Sciences Association\, the Indianapolis Public Library System\, schools\, cultural organizations\, and community partners\, the Common Read demonstrates the power of stories to bring people together around big ideas and shared questions about our future. \nWhether you’ve read the book cover-to-cover\, participated in a discussion group\, or are simply curious about the ideas it inspires\, you are invited to join fellow community members for an evening of conversation\, reflection\, and discovery. \nOne city. One book. Many perspectives. Join the conversation. \nThousands of copies of The Illustrated Man have been made available through libraries across Indianapolis and surrounding counties. \nThis event is part of the Spirit & Place Festival (Nov. 5–15). Learn more at spiritandplace.org. \nThe Indianapolis Common Read Conversation is a Spirit & Place event.

SUMMARY:The Lost Photographs of Osbert Sumner
DESCRIPTION:In 1898\, Osbert Sumner (1873–1932) was given a camera by his coworkers after leaving his position at a downtown wholesale grocery. With it\, he captured a unique perspective of Indianapolis at the turn of the twentieth century. His glass negatives were left under the basement stairs of his home in Irvington\, where they remained hidden for decades\, only to be discovered by future owners who donated them to the Irvington Historical Society. There were no names\, no dates\, just a cache of incredible images waiting to be identified\, more than 300 of them. For more than seven years\, researchers at the Irvington Historical Society have worked to identify the people\, places\, and stories depicted in the images. \nDeedee Davis\, Irvington Historical Society board member and reference archivist for the Indianapolis City-County Archives\, will discuss the collaborative research process and the discoveries that offer a largely unseen perspective of early Indianapolis. Davis’s talk is presented as part the Indianapolis Public Library’s Culture\, History\, and Society series. \nNote that the program takes place in the Indianapolis Special Collections Room (ISCR) on the 6th floor within Central Library. \nFor more information\, contact Montoya Barker at mbarker@indypl.org or call the library at 317.275.4100. \nThis program received support from an Indiana Humanities Mini-Grant.

SUMMARY:Voices and Votes Closing Reception featuring Curtis Crisler: Greencastle
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we close Voices and Votes: Democracy in America with an evening of poetry\, music and community. Indiana Poet Laureate Curtis L. Crisler brings his Pop-Up Indiana Chitlin Circuit to the Prindle Institute\, joined by local poets and musicians.

Solo sets follow\, and the evening ends with the poets reading a single poem together\, line by line. Live music carries the program from one set to the next. \nAbout Curtis L. Crisler\nA Gary native and professor of English at Purdue University Fort Wayne\, Crisler has served as Indiana’s poet laureate since 2024. In January\, his term was extended through the start of 2028. He is the author of 13 books. \n\n
