The 2010 Eugene & Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Award culminated with a special day of festivities on October 9, 2010 at Indianapolis’ downtown Central Library. More than 650 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 330 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 Emily Dickinson, a keynote speech delivered by National Author category winner, Scott Russell Sanders, and remarks by Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard. In all, the Award Dinner raised more than $64,000 to support Library programs and services throughout Marion County.
