Cool vibes only. Great Jimmy Carter exhibit. Didn't have a chance to visit the upstairs portion but learned a lot on the 1st floor. Signed the wall. Reviewed the banned books section and found the jailed authors section interesting.
A must-see in Indy!

I visited Indy this week for a work conference and this was a great find! Great place to read some exhibits about Vonnegut's life, context and writing. Nice little shop as well. Well worth a visit!

Pretty cool place. Slaughterhouse 5 isn't that amazing of a book. Need to read cat's cradle still
