The Village 2:00pm - 4:00pm East 38th Street Branch You may have seen The Village at SPARK on the Circle from August through the Taylor Swift Eras Tour (here's an IndyStar article about it), and now that the weather is cold, this community artwork is coming indoors. The Village is a large-scale fiber piece made of pompoms and latch hook sections put together by participants. Whether it’s two people making pompoms together, helping each other attach pompoms to the canvas, or afterward sharing this simple hand skill with friends and family, The Village encourages a sense of belonging. Social Practice Art focuses on the interaction between participants. What is made is a souvenir. The activity has a long cultural history within the fiber arts—quilting bees, sewing circles, knitting groups, and any club over the centuries where women of all ages and cultural backgrounds gathered together to create. The Village is composed of 13 individual panels that fit together to make one 24-foot by 8-foot composition. Mary Jo Bayliss takes individual panels into the community and pompoms are attached to the panel. These pompoms create texture and relief amid latch hook to create a design of heart hands, butterflies, snakes, guitars, and circles. After the piece is complete, it will be displayed at Tube Factory Artspace. Big Car Collaborative has sponsored this work, under the direction of Mary Jo Bayliss, with support from The Indianapolis Public Library, Ivy Tech Community College, and other community locations for social creation. Registration is not required—drop in for a few minutes or the whole time. Check out the other days, times, and library branches where you can join in with The Village here.

Indianapolis Marvels: DigIndy 6:00pm - 7:30pm Central Library Culture, History, and Society: Historic Indianapolis—The DigIndy Tunnel System is one of (if not the) largest infrastructure projects in the history of Indianapolis. Citizens Energy Group built the tunnel system 250 feet below ground and with a diameter of 18 feet such that it will capture an estimated 5 billion gallons of wastewater overflow each year from the sewer systems of Indianapolis and direct the waste to treatment facilities for safe release. The captured waste would have otherwise entered the community’s waterways, and its elimination will be incredibly impactful for the river environments, water quality, and the public health of surrounding communities. This in-person presentation will cover the historical need for such a project; the evolution of its design; the interesting complexities of its construction; and what the program will now accomplish for our Indianapolis neighborhoods. Registration is required. Presented by: Mike Miller, MSCE, PE, Manager (Technical Services & Construction) at Citizens Energy Group, has a rich background in the geotechnical engineering and construction industry. He has more than 25 years of professional experience, with the past 12 spent at Citizens Energy Group leading the program management of the $2 billion DigIndy Tunnel System. His expertise in geotechnical engineering (including investigations and instrumentation); earth support; temporary earth retention system design; and tunnel design has been crucial in the successful completion of DigIndy. He is a graduate of Michigan State University and a licensed Professional Engineer.

Thirty years after a tragic accident shut down production of the classic children’s program Mister Magic, the five surviving cast members have done their best to move on. But just as generations of cultishly devoted fans still cling to the lessons they learned from the show, the cast, known as the Circle of Friends, have spent their lives searching for the happiness they felt while they were on it. The friendship. The feeling of belonging. And the protection of Mister Magic. But with no surviving video of the show, no evidence of who directed or produced it, and no records of who—or what—the beloved host actually was, memories are all the former Circle of Friends has. Then a twist of fate brings the castmates back together at the remote desert filming compound that feels like it’s been waiting for them all this time. Even though they haven’t seen each other for years, they understand one another better than anyone. After all, they’re the only ones who hold the secret of that circle, the mystery of the magic man in his infinitely black cape, and, maybe, the answers to what really happened on that deadly last day. But as the Circle of Friends reclaim parts of their past, they begin to wonder: Are they here by choice, or have they been lured into a trap If you would like to receive a copy of our book club materials, check them out from our collection!
