2010 Library Lovers Month Book Fair, February 12 through February 15, Benefits the Library

The Tompkins County Public Library Foundation invites the community to support the Library by participating in the Second Annual Library Lovers Month Bookfair.

During this four-day event, local bookstores will donate proceeds from their sales to the Library Foundation. To participate, simply make a purchase at the following local retailers: Autumn Leaves, Barnes & Noble, The Bookery, Borders, Buffalo Street Books, Colophon Books, Comics for Collectors and The Cornell Store and present a Library Lovers Month Voucher at the checkout. Vouchers can be found in flyers available at the Library, the Ticket Center, the Visitor’s Center, and many stores downtown as well as online at http://tcpl.org/foundation.

Many of the stores will also host special events in conjunction with the book fair. The programs currently planned include: performances by the Ithaca Community Orchestra’s String Quartet and Woodwind Trio, a “Blues Before Valentines” concert by Pete Panek, a classical guitar performance by Neal Wecker, special storytimes featuring local celebrities and visits by Clifford the Big Red Dog, a favorite children’s book character. A complete schedule of events will be announced at http://tcpl.org/foundation.
