On Thursday, November 5th, John Seitz returns to Corry for another book reading and signing.  John, the author of last year’s successful memoir, Corry Stories, will be reading selections from his new book: Everyday People, Ordinary Places.

The collection of more than fifty true stories illuminates just how special everyday people are and how interesting ordinary places can be. From a little boy marching in a parade with his fireman father, to the hidden history of a common lunchbox; ever present are the positive themes of kindness and love.

Everyone has stories that document just how interestingly they are living their lives. Come to the early evening reading and, as you encounter John’s stories, you’ll be encouraged to recall and relate some of your own.  Stories go better with some sweets. A selection of cookies and brownies will appear.

The event is a collaboration between Corry Hi-Ed and Corry Public Library. It will be held at the Corry Public Library on Thursday, November 5th from 6:30 pm to 8:00pm. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of books will be cheerfully donated to the library. This is a free event, but registration is required by visiting the Corry Hi-Ed website www.corryhied.org or by calling the Hi-Ed at 814-664-9405.
