Book reading, signing by TTU alumna author

Her talk, titled "How a Conversation Became a Book," runs from 2 to 4 p.m. Post spent years connected to Texas Tech before turning her attention to the Lubbock Lake Landmark, a site many residents pass without a second glance. The book traces its history, and the event gives her a chance to walk people through how the project came together.

Visitors will get a rare chance to hear the backstory straight from someone who dug into the archives and wrote it down. Local history buffs, Tech alumni, and neighbors looking for a good Sunday outing can spend two hours learning something new about the site. Book signings tied to actual Lubbock landmarks don't come around often. This one carries extra weight for people who care about where they live.

That patch of land turns out to have enough story behind it to fill an entire book.
