General Lew Wallace Study & Museum has a Hoosier Authors Book Club (although, I'm not sure Barbara Kingsolver's connection with Indiana). There is also a page for a Hoosier Author Fair, only it is for 2022.
I did not know of the Indiana Library Federation until this morning. Considering the book-banners roaming Indiana, this will be an important organization. You should read ILF Board Statement in Response to Censorship in Indiana Libraries, but if its one page is too much:
A keystone of democracy is free and equitable access to information. Censorship is a direct threat to that access. In response to the recent surge in book challenges and removals in Indiana and throughout the country, ILF reaffirms that the freedom to read and access information is an inalienable right. Any effort to ban, remove, or otherwise restrict access to library materials represents a threat to democracy. The Indiana Library Federation Board of Directors, representing academic, public, and school libraries, stand united against all manifestations of censorship.
