The Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library operates in Indianapolis, Indiana as a multipurpose cultural institution that functions as a museum, art gallery, lending library, and educational resource center. It preserves and promotes the legacy of Kurt Vonnegut and the principles of free expression, common decency, and peaceful coexistence associated with his work. The institution is described as the nation’s only facility of its kind, integrating these roles under one roof. It also supports language and visual arts education and runs programs designed to involve military veterans in the arts, as part of its broader educational mission and for engaging a diverse audience of students, educators, and visitors. In 2020, the library partnered with Indiana Humanities, a collaboration that has led to additional projects, including events such as a Frankenstein read-a-thon.
