A Route 66 historian and author is coming to Atlanta next week. 

Jim Hinckley is an author from Arizona and will be coming to the Atlanta library next Tuesday night for a free presentation. Co-Director of the Library, Julianna Nordman sang his praises on the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday.

The $10,000 grant was put to good use throughout the last calendar year for the library. Nordman explains they held a program with a TikTok star over the summer and offered a series of cooking classes as well. 

Hinckley will have several books he's written available for purchase and he'll be signing those books. Nordman indicates he'll be making a presentation and is excited for the community of Atlanta to offer this opportunity.
