The Digest

There shouldn’t be a guide for this

But there is because the Hamilton East Library is undefeated in causing controversy and drama and dividing the Fishers community.

You aren't alone if you’re struggling to keep up with everything. Let’s break it down 💃

The library board cut off the public in their last meeting. Things started to go off the rails when a board member accused the Human Library event of promoting prostitution. The finale was a meeting participant dropping their books and being asked to leave. They didn’t, got arrested, and now they’re facing misdemeanor charges.

It surfaced later that Author John Green’s book, The Fault in our Stars, one of the best-selling books of all time, was moved to the adult section. This has driven social media, and John, completely nuts — calling Fishers ludicrous and an embarrassment.

Now there’s a new meeting set for August 30th, where board member Andre Miksha is being targeted for removal. There isn’t much on the agenda, but it does cite state law on removing a board member.

It’s been reported this is due to his voting record.

Sheesh. That’s a lot for ANY library to go through in a year. Much less than 2 weeks. Go deeper with our article here. 

Please stop running and biking on 146th and Allisonville

Hamilton County’s Traffic Division is asking people to PLEASE stop, and it’s prohibited anyway (“No pedestrians or bicycles” signs are on both sides).

The problem: This is one of the only ways to get across the river into Carmel for bikers and runners. The next closest is going all the way to 116th street.

Either way, do with this info what you will, and don’t forget to join the Woodstock 5k to support the Humane Society!

Here's some context. Jonathan Taylor, the Colts star running back, has been at odds with Jim Irsay over his contract and salary disputes.

It’s yet to be seen whether the RB will play for the team as he serves the last year of his rookie contract or will the Colts trade him off.

So hey, if you have a little one might as well shoot your shot 💪

Thanks!
