Artists, architects, designers and otherwise creative Library lovers are invited to participate this fall in the Tompkins County Public Library’s Ten Years at Green Street Celebration by submitting their concept of the library of the future.
The Library moved from its crowded and crumbling home on Cayuga Street to its beautiful and spacious current home at 101 East Green Street in November of 2000. In celebration of that move, TCPL will host a weekend of events and activities from November 5th through the 7th, beginning with an opening reception for a three-part art exhibit featuring images of its past, present and future.
Community members interested in contributing to the exhibit are asked to imagine the Library of the future, circa 2060, and express their visualizations with originality, whimsy and humor. Will the library be a physical place or entirely virtual? Will books – as we know them – still be available? How will children relate to the Library of the future? Will storytime be a thing of the past?
A formal Call for Artists and a case statement about the Library of the future is available at tcpl.org/events-exhibits/2010/anniversary-call-for-artists.php.
