Gwinnett County Public Library brings Sundays to life in Suwanee series

The Gwinnett County Public Library is bringing back its Sundays in Suwanee series, which brings well-known Georgia-related authors and speakers to the local community.
The first show in the newly revived series will take place at 3 p.m. on Sunday, November 7, at the Suwanee branch of the library.
“Each month, local and bestselling fiction and non-fiction writers and speakers will discuss a variety of topics such as travel, sports, history, wellness and more,” said Victoria Hopkins, Director marketing and communications for GCPL. “Each author or topic is related to Georgia and offers a unique perspective.”
The series has been on hiatus since the COVID-19 pandemic forced all 2020 programs to be canceled, and library system staff are delighted to finally revive events.
There will be two different Sundays in the Suwanee programs in November. The first, on November 7, will feature Sports Hall of Fame inductee Mike Glenn who is also a prolific author and motivational speaker from Rome, Georgia. Glenn, who previously played for the Atlanta Hawks among other NBA teams, will discuss his book, “My Next Shot Goes In,” followed by a time for attendees to meet the author and make him. dedicate copies of the book.
The second program in November is called “Senior Moments or Something More? And will take place on November 21. The program will be led by Cloud Conrad, a certified dementia caregiver trainer, as she discusses her book, “The Dementia Field Guide: Navigate the Caregivers Journey Confidently”. The book examines the signs of potential cognitive impairment and how to differentiate them from normal aging and offers advice for caregivers. Afterwards, Conrad will be available for a question-and-answer session and will sign copies of his book.
Sundays in Suwanee will take a break in December for the holidays, but the series will return in January 2022 with author Tom Poland revisiting memories of the South through his book “The Last Sunday Drive: Vanishing Traditions in Georgia and the Carolinas”.
“The location of the Suwanee branch is ideal for a Sunday afternoon event, as there is less traffic and busy families can make the most of their day with a lunch at a local location, a stroll through the park then a visit to the library. ” Hopkins said.
Sunday events in Suwanee are free and open to the public, with each event starting at 3 p.m. at the GCPL Suwanee branch, a short walk from downtown Suwanee Park. For more information on the Sundays in Suwanee series, visit gwinnettpl.libnet.info/events.
