How to Read a Book by Monica Wood.
Presented by Dr. Jennifer O’Hara.
Books Sandwiched In will be held at the First Congregational Church of Christ, 171 W. Pulteney Street in Corning. There is plenty of free parking at the church.
If you miss the live presentation for any reason, each presentation will be recorded and made available shortly afterwards on the Library’s YouTube channel; just click “Playlists” under our Owl logo, then click “Books Sandwiched In.”
The program starts at 12:00 noon, and will end at approximately 1:00 PM. Presenters usually speak for 30 minutes or so, and allow 15-20 minutes for questions. Louise Richardson will introduce the presenters, and will act as moderator for the question and answer period.
The talks are open to the public and free of charge. Beverages are provided and attendees are invited to bring a bagged lunch. Books Sandwiched in is made possible with the generous support of The Friends of the Library. Additional support is provided by Card Carrying Books and Gifts.

Tell us a little about a book that has had a profound impact on your life.
This is a strange answer but “Rage of Angels” by Sydney Sheldon, which I read when I was 17 was the first opportunity I had to see that a person of modest means could go to law school. It changed my trajectory entirely. I was going to study nursing!
