Conversations with the Author: Matilda Cuomo at the Quogue Library

Our Conversations with the Author series begins this year with Matilda Raffa Cuomo, editor of The Person Who Changed My Life: Prominent People Recall Their Mentors.

In 1987 Matilda Raffa Cuomo, former First Lady of New York State, established the first statewide school-based one-to-one mentoring program in New York, which in 1995 evolved into Mentoring USA, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to implementing mentor programs for at-risk children in grades K-8. Mrs. Cuomo lives in New York City with her husband, Mario.

This event will take place on the beautiful grounds of the library.
