The 2009 Eugene & Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Award culminated with a special day of festivities on September 26, 2009 at Indianapolis’ downtown Central Library. More than 400 people participated in free activities throughout the day, including book sales and signings, author lectures, a “how to get published” workshop for aspiring writers, a Q&A session with the Indiana Authors Award Finalists, and more.

That evening, more than 350 book lovers attended the Award Dinner to celebrate the winners and finalists of the inaugural Indiana Authors Award. In addition to the excitement of announcing the winners of the Regional and Emerging Author categories, the evening featured a silent auction to raise funds for the Library Foundation, an appearance and poetry reading by James Whitcomb Riley, a keynote speech delivered by National Author category winner, James Alexander Thom, and a Mayoral proclamation naming September 26, 2009 Eugene and Marilyn Glick Day.  WISH-TV’s Debby Knox served as emcee for the evening. In all, the Award Dinner raised more than $40,000 to support Library programs and services throughout Marion County.
