Dine Out for the Library
Soup's up! Grab some delicious, homemade soup from Darn Good Soup every Tuesday in November from 11 am–7:30 pm. Show your flyer when you dine and the Friends will receive 20% of what you spend at Darn Good Soup on Tuesday, November 6, 13, 20, and 27. It's fast; it's healthy; it's darn good.
Darn Good Soup dishes up 8 to 10 fresh soups daily, including vegetarian and vegan options, each served with bread. They have salads available as well as Hartzell's ice cream. Located on the west side of the Courthouse square, they serve you at the counter to eat in their casual dining area or for carry-out. Check out their soup menu for the selection of tasty soups for the day.
Simply show your flyer available at library kiosks or print from our website. Your dining out has brought in more than $16,000 for the Library! Thank you for enjoying all that great food.
Revisiting the History of IU
We're gearing up for the celebration of Indiana University's Bicentennial 2019-2020. Jim Capshew, author and the Indiana University Historian, draws from his current research, Voices Along the Way: Turning Indiana University's Past into History, to discuss writers of IU history who have shaped our present understanding of the university's mission and culture. Capshew is the author of the biography, Herman B Wells: The Promise of the American University (2012), and several other works on IU history.
Come join us for Coffee with Friends on Sunday, December 2 from 3-4 p.m. in Meeting Room 1B on the first floor of Monroe County Public Library. Refreshments will be served courtesy of the Friends Hospitality Committee.
