History Book Festival Feedback

Thank you so much for participating in our first-ever History Book Festival. We recognized that it was difficult for authors of local history to make meaningful connections with readers during the pandemic. We organized this program in a pandemic-proof, outdoor setting to help bridge that gap. We would really like to get your feedback about what worked and what didn’t work so that we can make this program bigger and better next year.

Prior to the pandemic, we hosted a very popular lecture series called “Great Talks at Gloria Dei.” The lectures took place inside the church and were followed by receptions in Riverside Hall.
