Anyone who has participated in a book club knows the added value from discussing a book with others and the sense of community it can bring. That's why Novel Conversations, our free lending library, is so important.

Through Novel Conversations, Indiana Humanities lends sets of books to dicussion groups at libraries, senior centers, schools, and book clubs across the state -- for FREE! This program makes it easy for book clubs to think, read and talk.

Donate now to help Indiana Humanities reach 1,000 more people in 2012 by helping us add at least 10 sets of new books to the Novel Conversations library.

See how your donation multiplies through the Novel Conversations program:

• $100 will fund 1 set of paperback books for Novel Conversations, which has a reach of more than 1,000 Hoosiers over 10 years.

• $75 will fund half a set of Ted Gup's A Secret Gift: How One Man’s Kindness – and a Trove of Letters – Revealed the Hidden History of the Great Depression, a book on our 2012 Wish List.
