The Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library serves as a museum, art gallery and reading room celebrating the literary, artistic and cultural contributions of Indianapolis native Kurt Vonnegut. Visitors to the library can see artifacts from the writer's life (such as his typewriter from the 1970s, his Purple Heart, and an unopened, WWII-era letter from his father), view examples of his artwork and learn about his Hoosier roots. The library also supports language and visual arts education through programs and outreach activities with other arts organizations to foster a strong network for both the local and national community.
