On this second evening of the festival, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Mario Andretti's 1969 Indianapolis 500 win. Shown will be two highlight films of that year's race, "The Challenge of Champions" and "Turn Left to Win." In addition, the biography of Mario Andretti, "Indy 500: A Race for Heroes," will be presented.
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.
