One thought on “Q&A with Gregory Hill, new Indianapolis Public Library CEO

  1. I wish this leader the wisdom and resiliency to navigate through these rough waters. I encourage the team to focus on the impact reading can make.

    Books are magical.

    I’ve always believed they are humanities first Time Machine. The ability to go back in time and live in the mind of another human, or to see the potential of the future.

    Some of my greatest memories and growth has come in and around the public library. I miss the excitement of yesteryear when the ‘book mobile’ would come to give the opportunity to discover a new book.

    With all the chaos and SHOUTING in mass media for our attention it’s so calming to feel the weight and smell the books in the stacks at the library.

    So many stories and adventures to experience between the ears and put into real work experience over the years.

    The world is changing, but we humans still seek the magic of books and ideas that bring us closer, not apart.

    Mr. Hill, keep ‘em focused on the magic.
