HEPL invites you to Books Build Bridges community event

Books Build Bridges is a community read program hosted by Hamilton East Public Library each fall to build community through shared experience, provide diverse reading opportunities, and engage the community with noted authors.

This year’s featured books are classic stories reimagined. For adult readers, the featured book is Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors by Sonali Dev. For teen readers, the featured book is Skin of the Sea by Natasha Bowen. For children, the featured book is A Wish in the Dark by Christina Soontornvat.

All three authors will visit in-person for a keynote presentation and panel discussion about their books and the art of retelling classic stories, moderated by local author, artist, and Ignite Studio Maker-in-Residence Rue Sparks. Book signings will follow.

The event will take place from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 30 at the FORUM Events Center, 11313 USA Pkwy., Fishers. Register here.
