Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Lilburn Woman's Club Launches Initiative to Combat Book Deserts In The City The GFWC Lilburn Woman’s Club has launched a literacy initiative to combat book deserts in Lilburn by sponsoring the Gwinnett County Public Schools Bookmobile Program. This effort will provide over 8,000 students across eight Lilburn elementary schools with free, age-appropriate books, starting January 15. The initiative addresses the lack of book access, which hinders literacy development, especially in Gwinnett County where many children lack books at home. By offering free books, the program aims to improve literacy and reading enjoyment, countering Georgia's low literacy ranking. The Bookmobile will visit schools, ensuring equitable access to books for all students. STORY 2: Nine Inch Nails Coming To Gwinnett's Gas South Arena Nine Inch Nails announced their Peel It Back Tour 2025, their first tour since 2022. Produced by Live Nation, the tour begins June 15 in Dublin, Ireland, covering Europe with stops in the UK, Germany, and Switzerland, and festival appearances in Belgium, Poland, and Spain. The North American leg starts August 6 in Oakland, reaching Gwinnett's Gas South Arena on September 9. Their 2022 tour received rave reviews, with Boston Magazine praising Trent Reznor and the band. Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, they've sold over 30 million records. Tickets go on sale January 29 at nin.com. STORY 3: Piedmont Eastside Offering Advanced Technologies for Early Detection of Lung Cancer Piedmont Eastside Medical Center has introduced the ION Robot and Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) to enhance early lung cancer detection in Gwinnett County. These technologies are utilized by Pulmonary and Sleep Specialists of Piedmont Northeast, now located on the Piedmont Eastside campus. The practice includes five board-certified physicians and advanced practice providers. The ION Robot uses a precision-guided catheter for accessing small lung lesions, while EBUS employs an ultrasound-guided needle for tissue sampling, aiding in cancer staging. This advancement aims to improve early detection and treatment outcomes, reflecting Piedmont Eastside's commitment to advanced pulmonary care.
