Item A Uniting Force: The One Book, One City Program in Indianapolis(H.W. Wilson Company, 2005) Bowron, Patrick; Buck, Katherine; Micheel, Ryan; Mihelich, AmandaOne Book, One City is a nation-wide program in which everyone in a community reads the same book. Typically an annual event, the program is intended to foster a sense of community, promote reading among adults, and celebrate literature. This paper evaluates the implementation of Indianapolis’s version of this program—One Book, One City: Indy Reads. In order to do this, the paper analyzes Indianapolis’s reaction to the program through book circulation, community involvement, and patron response.Item Being a Freshman, Being an Author: An Interview With Teen Author Zoe Trope(H.W. Wilson Company, 2005) Nowling, GreggWhile most fourteen year old girls are hanging out at the mall spending their hard-earned allowance on new clothes and quarters for an all-day marathon of Dance Dance Revolution at the video arcade, Portland-based author Zoe Trope was muddling through her freshman year of high school and composing a diary, which would later be turned into a much praised work of young adult literature, Please Don’t Kill the Freshman: A Memoir. In the opening pages of the book, Trope displays her rare and witty teenage insight into the world of librarianship, insisting of the school media specialist, “You’re the one got stuck working in a high school library. No one chooses that profession, I’m sure.”Item Correction(H.W. Wilson Company, 2005) Indiana LibrariesItem The Well-Read Librarian: Libraries as Community Centers(H.W.

Wilson Company, 2005) Snyder, Herbert W.I spend a lot of my time teaching and writing about financial management in libraries and elsewhere, but I’m also a member of my local library’s board. As a result, I found myself sitting through seven hours of board training a few weeks ago. If your library has never done this, I strongly recommend it, not because it’s particularly fun, but because it actually makes a difference in how well both the library and the board work.Item Indiana Libraries Submission Guidelines(H.W.
