True Crime: JFK Assassination with Author J.T. Townsend

Important Update Regarding Meeting Usage During Library Renovation

During 2026, we will be undergoing a renovation to better serve the people of Dearborn County. 

Due to the renovation, access to the Youth Services Department will be closed to the public during January and February. You will still be able to use the Ewbank Meeting Room throughout this closure, but our procedures for using the room have been modified:

  • Please enter the library via the High St. entrance. This entrance provides direct access to the Ewbank Meeting Room only. To access other areas of the library, you must use the Mary St. or Parking Lot entrances.
  • Once inside, please call our Adult Services Department at 812-537-2775 Ext. 1125. Let us know that you have arrived and provide your group's name. A staff member will come to unlock the room for your group.
  • If you need any assistance at any time during your meeting, please call 812-537-2775 Ext. 1125 and a staff member will come to help.
  • When your meeting has finished, please call 812-537-2775 Ext. 1125 again to let us know. Please leave your clipboard in the room. A staff member will come to lock the room and collect the clipboard. There is no need to wait for us.

We are excited to share our upgraded spaces with you once renovations are complete. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve your library.

Program Description

Join author J.T. Townsend for a new look at the assassination of President John F. Kennedy after the release of approximately 80,000 pages of previously classified documents.

 

JFK: Conspiracy or Coincidence?

It was the greatest crime in American history...the murder of our vibrant, handsome president on November 22, 1963.  And it’s still a mystery.  Was John Fitzgerald Kennedy killed by a lone gunman?  Or was he the victim of a conspiratorial coup?

As the 60th anniversary nears, join Queen City Gothic and Summer’s Almost Gone author JT Townsend as he tackles his biggest investigative challenge yet...the JFK Assassination.  Watch Townsend cut through the quagmire of information and isolate the pertinent evidence in all three killings that weekend in Dallas – President  Kennedy, Officer J.D. Tippit, and alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. 

By turning these historic events into a homicide inquiry, Townsend will close this sensational murder case once and for all...
