by an unscrupulous factory owner, Constance attempts to collect $50 in damages.

and bullets, but Constance sticks to her guns and insists upon seeking justice
through the law.</span></div>

This year Indiana is celebrating its Bicentennial, and KHCPL
is celebrating all things Indiana during the Summer Reading program. We invite you to book through time with us and explore Indiana's rich literary history. Hoosiers have always been
writers, earning a reputation as "a scribbling and forthputting people"
as early as 1827. </div>

Novelist Kurt Vonnegut is known for his trademark blend of
satire, science fiction, and social issues. After being captured by Germans
during the Battle of the Bulge, Kurt Vonnegut survived the Allied firebombing
of Dresden where he was being held as a prisoner of war. This experience formed
the basis of his novel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/search/C__St%3A%28slaughterhouse-five%29__Orightresult__U?lang=eng&suite=cobalt">Slaughterhouse-Five</a></i>. His hometown of Indianapolis often appeared in his fiction

You might think we’re bananas for recommending a book entirely about a single yellow fruit, but this fascinating read will take you along on the exciting adventure of getting a small tropical fruit halfway across the globe and into American hands in an era before refrigeration. It also explores the delicate future of this beloved fruit, which is the fourth most harvested crop on Earth (yes, only wheat, rice, and corn beat out this distinctive fruit).<br />

Space is a world devoid of the things we need to live and thrive: air, gravity, hot showers, fresh produce, privacy, and beer! Space exploration is in some ways an exploration of what it means to be human. How much can a person give up? What happens if you vomit in your helmet during a spacewalk? Is it possible for the human body to survive a bailout at 17,000 miles per hour? To answer these questions, Mary Roach explores (and often participates in) all manner of quizzical and startlingly bizarre space simulations.<br />

Say cheese! In this acclaimed memoir from photographer Sally Mann, she traces her own family history in the American South and examines the role it has played in her legendary career. Sorting through boxes of family papers and yellowed photographs, she finds more than she bargained for: deceit and scandal, alcohol, domestic abuse, car crashes, bogeymen, clandestine affairs, dearly loved and disputed family land, racial complications, vast sums of money made and lost, the return of the prodigal son, and maybe even murder. <br />

<br />
Are you all set for the Greatest Spectacle in Racing? This year will be the Indy 500’s one hundredth running, so whether or not you’re a race fan, it’s a great year to learn a few new things about the race.<br />
<br />
Did you know that the 500 has its very own historian? Donald Davis, a native of Britain, can spout -- or write -- basically any race history you’d like to know and proves it in this <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1535677__Sindianapolis%20500__P0%2C5__Orightresult__U__X6?lang=eng&suite=cobalt">official history</a> of the race. If you’d like to learn some trivia, <i><a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1533664__Sindy%20500__P0%2C6__O-date__X0?lang=eng&suite=cobalt">Indianapolis 500: A Century of Excitement</a></i>, with a chapter on each decade the race has existed, should do the trick. Are you up for something darker? Read about <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1541801__Sthe%20year%20they%20stopped%20the%20indy%20500__Orightresult__U__X4?lang=eng&suite=cobalt">the year they stopped the 500</a>. If you just need to attend a party and sound smart, take a few minutes to learn about the <a href="https://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/history/people-of-ims/indianapolis-500-drivers">legends</a> who have driven Indy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For a more interactive option, consider visiting an <a href="http://www.indystar.com/story/news/2015/10/17/art-exhibit-commemorate-100th-running-indy-500/74005116/">exhibit</a> commemorating the anniversary or plan a trip to the track’s <a href="https://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/at-the-track/museum">Hall of Fame Museum</a>. To pick up just enough to impress your friends, memorize a few key facts about <a href="https://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/events/indy500/history/borg-warner-trophy">the Borg-Warner trophy</a>, including how tall it is and how much it weighs, or find out what happened to <a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Indianapolis_News/1911/05/30/One_Dead_and_Many_Injured">the Apperson Jack Rabbit</a> that ran in the 1911 race.<br />
<br />
If there’s a race fan in your life, a little online shopping could result in the perfect gift. <a href="http://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/history/purchase-historical-race-broadcasts">Historical radio broadcasts of past races</a> are quite affordable, and the speedway carries a whole host of practical <a href="http://shop.ims.com/ims/">gifts</a> as well.<br />
<br />
What if your attention span for all things racing is limited (or possibly nonexistent)? You can’t go wrong with mystery stories that all revolve around the race, so pick up <i><a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1613712__Sindianapolis%20500__P0%2C10__Orightresult__U__X3?lang=eng&suite=cobalt">Racing Can Be Murder</a></i>. Stretch it a little farther, and fans of Janet Evanovich could be enjoying a tale of car chases and kisses on the pretext that it’s about auto racing with <i><a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1321726__Sautomobile%20racing__P2%2C63__Orightresult__U__X3?lang=eng&suite=cobalt">Metro Girl</a></i>. You might even be willing to learn the basics of NASCAR when it’s laugh-out-loud funny in the hands of bestseller Sharyn McCrumb’s <i><a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1400450__Ssharyn%20mccrumb__P0%2C4__Orightresult__X4?lang=eng&suite=cobalt">Once Around the Track</a>.</i><br />
<br />
It’s also a great time to lay the groundwork with your kids or grandkids, future fans of racing in all its forms. <a href="http://www.pbs.org/parents/crafts-for-kids/diy-race-cars/">Build cars together out of toilet paper tubes</a>, read about <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1571442__Snascar__O-date__U__X0?lang=eng&suite=cobalt">NASCAR</a>, or go all out and make <a href="http://hellolittlehouse.com/2012/09/tiny-teddy-racing-cars/">edible tiny teddy racing cars</a>. If the kids are a bit older, wow your tween or teen by sharing the lowdown on becoming <a href="http://www.insidejobs.com/careers/nascar-pit-crew-person">a NASCAR pit crew member</a>.

If you can’t be at the race track, the events are <a href="http://indymotorspeedway.com/500broadcast.html">broadcast</a> on both television and radio. Serious race fans will also be watching <a href="https://www.formula1.com/content/fom-website/en/championship/races/2016/Monaco.html">the Monaco Grand Prix</a> and <a href="http://www.charlottemotorspeedway.com/tickets/coca_cola_600/">NASCAR’s Charlotte 600</a> though it is not yet possible to see them all in person. Luckily for us, we are near to the most important location in motor racing.<br />
<br />
If you’ll be taking in the excitement of the race in person, expect things to look a little different this year due to <a href="http://wishtv.com/2015/09/10/new-seats-catch-fence-elevator-space-highlight-changes-at-ims/">Project 100</a>. Get your <a href="https://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/events/indy500/buy-tickets/ticket-prices">tickets</a> and check out the <a href="https://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/events/indy500/fan-info/parking-tailgating/tailgating">parking map</a> ahead of time.

The biggest question for this season is whether or not Jon
Snow is actually dead. To voice your opinion, you can vote in <i>The Hollywood Reporter</i>’s <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/game-thrones-is-jon-snow-805510">poll</a>. The cast members have been dodging this question with a variety of <a href="http://www.ew.com/article/2016/03/30/game-thrones-is-jon-snow-dead">ways</a> running the gamut from cryptic to confrontational.<br />
<br />

insists that his character is dead and will not be resurrected in the upcoming
episodes. But fan speculation dismisses this as mere subterfuge.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">George
R. R. Martin announced that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Winds of
Winter</i>, the upcoming book in the series,<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">
</i><a href="http://grrm.livejournal.com/465247.html">will not be finished</a> before Season 6 airs as he had previously <span style="font-family: inherit;">hop</span>ed.</span></span> Disappointed fans who are tempted to lash out in anger over
this turn of events may want to revisit Neil Gaiman’s <a href="http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2009/05/entitlement-issues.html">legendary blog post</a> on this very subject. But not to despair, Martin has promised readers that <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/feb/25/george-rr-martin-game-of-thrones-twist-will-appear-in-books-not-tv-show">he is working exclusively</a> on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Winds of
Winter</i> and will not write anything else until he has finished it. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">He
even released a<span style="font-family: inherit;"> chapter</span> excerpt as a <a href="http://www.georgerrmartin.com/excerpt-from-the-winds-of-winter/">teaser</a>.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<br />
Following up on his word of warning about the divergence
between the novels and the television series,
Martin revealed that the <a href="http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/02/25/game-of-thrones-will-never-be-able-to-do-this-winds-of-winter-twist?watch">plot twist</a> in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Winds of Winter </i>will involve a character who, while still alive in the
books, had been killed off in the television show.

<span style="font-family: "arial";">The first official day of spring for the Northern Hemisphere
falls on March 20th with the <a href="http://earthsky.org/?p=68679">vernal equinox</a>,
which will occur at <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/march-equinox.html">12:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the vernal equinox, the days will continue to gradually lengthen
until the longest day of the year on summer solstice.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The term "equinox" means "equal night"
in Latin. During an equinox, the sun is directly above the earth's celestial
equator. As a result, day and night are of equal length nearly
everywhere on the planet. </span></div>

For many of us the resolution that tops our list involves losing weight, exercising more, or just getting healthier. Most people don't associate a library with losing weight, but we are the perfect place to start. Libraries have books, videos, great selections of music, audio books, and we even occasionally offer library programs involving fitness or food. <br />
<br />
If you are considering dieting or starting a new fitness regimen, our first piece of advice is to spread the word. In many diet books, and even on fitness videos, you will often see a warning to first consult your doctor. This is actually great advice for two reasons. First, your doctor will make sure that you won't be doing anything that could harm your health, and they may also have suggestions to help you get started. Secondly, the act of telling someone will commit you to your goal. You will often find that telling your doctor, your family, and your friends about your intentions will help you stay motivated further down the road. You have created an expectation and you won't want to let anyone down--including yourself.<br />
<br />
Your next stop can be the library where you can check out our great collection of diet books and diet cookbooks. You can find a lot of diet books for whatever style diet you or your doctor have in mind. Some of our most popular diet books include:<br />

Sometime we don't need a full fledged "diet" to solve our weight and eating woes. Sometime all we need is a gentle reminder about what we are putting in our mouths. Some of these books include tips and studies on how mindfulness can help us with our goals.</div>

Grinch-like characters are often the center of holiday stories. Often these grumpy characters find some redemptive quality that changes his/her perspective on Christmas as well as mankind.
The original Grinch was from the lively imagination of Dr. Seuss and was first published in the 1956 children's book <a href="http://How the Grinch stole Christmas " target="_blank"><i>How the Grinch Stole Christmas</i></a>. The <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1605798__Show%20the%20grinch%20stole__P0%2C6__Orightresult__X6;jsessionid=4F915B86A8101425DAF9C2E0C91BE889?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">1966 animated special</a> is a long standing tradition in many households; a show that brought us the classic Christmas song, "You’re a mean one Mr. Grinch." In 2000, Ron Howard directed a full length feature film version of <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1605799__Show%20the%20grinch%20stole__P0%2C7__Orightresult__X6?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">How the Grinch Stole Christmas</a> starring Jim Carrey as the Grinch.<br />
<br />
The Whos in Whoville didn’t let the Grinch steal their Christmas. They showed the Grinch that “Christmas doesn't come from a store, maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more....” You can celebrate “Grinchmas” with 25 days of doing good deeds. There are many fun ideas at <i><a href="http://www.seussville.com/parents/themes/home-for-the-i-who-i-lidays" target="_blank">Home for the Who-lidays</a></i>.
Maybe your heart will “grow three sizes”.<br />

The Grinch wasn’t the original grouchy character in a Christmas story. Who can forget the ever familiar “Bah Humbug!” uttered by Ebenezer Scrooge in <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1254290__Sa%20christmas%20carol__Ff%3Afacetmediatype%3Ab%3Ab%3ABook--Adult%3A%3A__Orightresult__U__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank"><i>A Christmas Carol</i></a> by Charles Dickens? Many sources credit the Dickens tale with reviving the Christmas spirit through generosity and family celebrations. It is also credited with making the phrase “Merry Christmas” popular. In <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1254290__Sa%20christmas%20carol__Ff%3Afacetmediatype%3Ab%3Ab%3ABook--Adult%3A%3A__Orightresult__U__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank"><i>A Christmas Carol</i></a>, Scrooge also had a life changing experience after visits from three Christmas spirits. He goes from “Bah Humbug!” to “I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. “― Charles Dickens, <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1254290__Sa%20christmas%20carol__Ff%3Afacetmediatype%3Ab%3Ab%3ABook--Adult%3A%3A__Orightresult__U__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank"><i>A Christmas Carol</i></a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You might start the tradition of reading a version of this tale to the family as you snuggle down in your new Christmas pajamas. Or your whole family can enjoy Jonathan Winters as he brings the characters to life in the <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1415668__Schristmas%20carol__Ff%3Afacetmediatype%3Ac%3Ac%3ACD%20Book--Adult%3A%3A__Orightresult__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt%20http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1254290__Sa%20christmas%20carol__P0%2C7__Orightresult__U__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt%20http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record" target="_blank">NPR production</a> on CD.<br />

If you are a mystery lover, a fun twist on Dickens tale can be found in Leslie Meier’s book, <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1526497__Sa%20christmas%20carol__Ff%3Afacetmediatype%3Ab%3Ab%3ABook--Adult%3A%3A__P0%2C8__Orightresult__U__X2?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">Christmas Carol Murder: a Lucy Stone Mystery</a>. <br />
<br />
The one exception to a character changing for the better was Mr. Potter in the movie <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1496482__Sits%20a%20wonderful%20life__P0%2C3__Orightresult__U__X6?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank"><i>It’s a Wonderful Life</i></a>. This 1946 Christmas classic was based off the short story "The Greatest Gift: A Christmas Tale" by Philip Van Doren Stern. Mr. Potter never seems to change his hard heart. But he couldn’t keep a good guy like George Baily down. When George Bailey, the main character, falls on hard times he needs reminded that “Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?” – Clarence (the angel)<br />

James Stewart, the down to earth actor, was a natural to portray George Bailey in <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1274961__Sit%27s%20a%20wonderful%20life__P0%2C1__Orightresult__U__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank"><i>It's a Wonderful Life</i></a>. Another natural fit was “girl next door” actress, Donna Reed portraying his wife Mary. Lionel Barrymore, who had portrayed Mr. Scrooge on a radio broadcast, portrayed believable villain, Mr. Potter. Lovers of this movie might be surprised to find that it was not initially a box office success. It has since become a staple in many households during the Christmas season with yearly airings on TV. You and your family might enjoy the <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1496482__Sits%20a%20wonderful%20life__P0%2C3__Orightresult__U__X6?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">60th anniversary DVD</a> that has special features including “The Making of It’s a Wonderful Life” <br />
<br />
Children might enjoy the picture book with a slightly different tale. George and Mary Baileys son Tommy gets some help from Arthur, an angel in training in <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1388702__Sits%20a%20wonderful%20life%20for%20kids__Orightresult__U__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank"><i>It's <span class="highlight customHighlight">a Wonderful Life for Kids</span></i></a>. <br />

November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). This is an annual event that encourages people to write a novel between November 1 and November 30. Many bestselling novels began as part of National Novel Writing Month. These include<i> <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/search/C__S%28t%3ACinder%29%20and%28a%3AMeyer%29__Orightresult__U?lang=eng&suite=cobalt">Cinder</a></i> by Marissa Meyer,

<br />
The web-based nonprofit <a href="http://nanowrimo.org/">NaNoWriMo (http://nanowrimo.org)</a> was created to help aspiring novelists meet the goal of writing 50,000 words, which is the minimum length for a novel. Its objective is to help writers produce a workable rough draft rather than publication ready story. Participation is free. Users need only to register for an account. Then beginning mid-month, they can start uploading their text to verify the word count. Novels can be written in any language and any genre with any theme whatsoever. Quite simply, if you believe you’re writing a novel, then so does NaNoWriMo. It offers the support of an online community in addition to writing resources and pep talks from established authors.<br />
<br />
KHCPL is a 2015 NaNoWriMo Come Write In! Center. KHCPL South will host a NaNoWriMo Come Write In! workshop from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. every Sunday in November. Meet with other writers. Swap ideas. Get inspired. Or simply write.<br />
<br />
KHCPL also offers free Wi-Fi, quiet study rooms, and public access computers. Our collection contains both books to help you hone your writer skills and conduct research.<br />

Writers’ Manuals in KHCPL’s Collection include:<br />

Indiana’s own Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., offers this sage advice for writing:<br />
<br />
1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.<br />
2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.<br />
3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.<br />
4. Every sentence must do one of two things – reveal character or advance the action.<br />
5. Start as close to the end as possible.<br />
6. Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them–in order that the reader may see what they are made of.<br />
7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.<br />
8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To heck with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.<br />

The genre-defying storyteller Neil Gaiman offers these rules for writing:<br />
<br />
1. Write.<br />
2. Put one word after another. Find the right word, put it down.<br />
3. Finish what you're writing. Whatever you have to do to finish it, finish it.<br />
4. Put it aside. Read it pretending you've never read it before. Show it to friends whose opinion you respect and who like the kind of thing that this is.<br />
5. Remember: when people tell you something's wrong or doesn't work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.<br />
6. Fix it. Remember that, sooner or later, before it ever reaches perfection, you will have to let it go and move on and start to write the next thing. Perfection is like chasing the horizon. Keep moving.<br />
7. Laugh at your own jokes.<br />
8. The main rule of writing is that if you do it with enough assurance and confidence, you're allowed to do whatever you like. (That may be a rule for life as well as for writing. But it's definitely true for writing.) So write your story as it needs to be written. Write it honestly, and tell it as best you can. I'm not sure that there are any other rules. Not ones that matter.<br />

The charmingly irascible Patrick Rothfuss explains his one true rule of writing:<br />
<br />
1. Yay, Verily. You Must Sit Down and Write.<br />
1a. Thou shalt not go see a movie instead. Or watch reality TV. Thou shalt write. No. Stop. You don’t need to clean out the fridge right now. Neither dost thou need to sort the recycling. I’m not even kidding. Go and write.<br />
1b. Thou shalt not just think about writing. Seriously. That is not writing. The worst unpublished novel of all-time is better than the brilliant idea you have in your head. Why? Because the worst novel ever is written down. That means it’s a book, while your idea is just an idle fancy. My dog used to dream about chasing rabbits; she didn’t write a novel about chasing rabbits. There is a difference.<br />
1c. Thou shalt not read, either. I know it’s book-related, but it’s not actually writing. Yes, even if it’s a book about how to write. Yes, even if you’re doing research. You can research later. Sit. Down. Write.<br />
<br />
So I say unto you: You don’t have to start entirely from scratch. (But you can’t count previously written words in your word count. Obviously.)<br />
<br />
So I say unto you: Revise sometimes.<br />
<br />
So I say unto you: Follow your enthusiasm.<br />

We @khcpl have decided to take this idea to another level and include reading a scary book and recommending a scary book to your friends.<br />
<br />
Too scared to pick out a book? Deciding on which book to pick could possibly be more daunting than actually reading the book. Listed below are a few staff recommendations along with the recommended reading level.<br />

Don’t get caught in an illegal motion and forget the kids. While reading the defense, they can also catch up on their favorite team with <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1514597__Sindianapolis%20colts__Orightresult__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt">The Indianapolis Colts (Stewart, Mark)</a>,
<a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1473580__Smeet%20the%20colts__Orightresult__U__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt">Meet the Colts (Kennedy, Mike)</a>
and <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1483467__Sindianapolis%20colts__P0%2C1__Orightresult__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt">Indianapolis Colts (Peloza, Brian)</a>. And of course, no roster is complete without a little <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1531214__Sindianapolis%20colts__P0%2C6__Orightresult__X3?lang=eng&suite=cobalt">Andrew Luck (Hoblin, Paul)</a>.<br />
<br />
On a more serious note, check out the emotional biographies by coaches Chuck Pagano (<a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1543196__STony%20dungy__P0%2C3__Orightresult__U__X4?lang=eng&suite=cobalt">Sidelined: overcoming odds through unity, passion, and perseverance</a>)
and Tony Dungy (<a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1406371__STony%20dungy__P0%2C8__Orightresult__U__X4?lang=eng&suite=cobalt">Quiet strength: a memoir: the principles, practices & priorities of a winning life</a>).
Both titles will certainly put the game in perspective.<br />
