Online Author Talks—Free for You
We are always looking for ways to encourage and support reading, whether for school or pleasure. To that end, the SU Libraries have joined the Library Speakers Consortium, which provides online author talks several times each month. The authors represent all manner of genres. See below for the upcoming speakers and dates. Recordings of previous speakers are available as well, including recently Rick Steves, the travel expert; novelist John Irving; Amor Towles, author of A Gentleman in Moscow; and Tiffany “The Budgetnista” Aliche, author and co-host of the award-winning Brown Ambition podcast. The talks are free for the SU family—including our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and supporters—so please feel free to sign up at the SU Libraries Online Author Events page. Preregistration is required in order to get the event link. Here are some upcoming speakers:
