Join our next Coffee & Conversations event at Irvington library for an impactful discussion about how we can all support our neighbors who are part of the LGBTQ+ community. This conversation will be facilitated by presenters from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Indiana. The ACLU presentation will explore the obstacles that impact LGBTQ+ people, discuss outcomes of the 2024 Indiana legislative session that will affect LGBTQ+ neighbors, and explain what we all can do as advocates. Come prepared to engage with this insightful discussion alongside your neighbors. Coffee and a light snack are provided for all guests. After the discussion, stick around to complete an open-ended craft that will help you reflect on what you learned.
This event is hosted by The Indianapolis Public Library LGBTQ+ Committee and Social Service Action Committee.
This branch has served the Irvington community since 1903 when the Bona Thompson Library was donated to Butler College and soon became a public library branch. Following relocations in 1914 and 1921, a new facility was built on East Washington Street in 1956 and named for Irvington’s distinguished citizen, Hilton U. Brown. The Brown Branch closed its doors in 2001 to make way for the current 16,000-square-foot Irvington Branch that opened later that year.
