Three Libraries Receive Authors Award Grants

Courtesy of the IMCPL Foundation

Teen Tech Week 2011The hometown libraries of the three Indiana authors who were recently awarded the 2010 Eugene & Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Award will each receive $2,500 grants this month. The Award, a program of the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library Foundation, and the subsequent grants seek to recognize the contributions of Indiana authors to the literary landscape in Indiana and across the nation. The Award recognition and the grants to the following libraries are funded by the generosity of The Glick Fund, a fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation:

Public nominations for the award were submitted from across the state earlier this year and eligibility included any published writer who was born in Indiana or has lived in Indiana for at least five years. An eight-member, statewide Award Panel selected the winners in the three categories, which were announced last month.

Information about nominating an author for the 2011 Eugene & Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Award will be made available early next year. To learn more, visit www.indianaauthorsaward.org.
