A marriage between new technology and old fashioned customer service will ensure that Tompkins County Public Library patrons have access to their favorite books, music, DVDs, and online resources this holiday season.
Library Director Susan Currie announced Monday that the Library will double borrowing limits on books, CDs, DVDs and audio books between December 18 and December 22, and that no items will be scheduled for return between Christmas and New Year’s.
"TCPL is so fortunate to have patrons who not only use and support the Library, but truly rely on it," Currie said. "That's why we want to make sure that we are meeting their needs even when we are closed."
Currie also stressed that patrons will be able to take advantage of the Library’s many online educational and entertainment resources, including the Alexander Street collection of recorded musical and theatrical performances, OverDrive, free music and video download service and Tumble Books for children, by logging on to the Library's website at http://tcpl.org/--choose the “Virtual Library” link to see a complete list of resources available.
TCPL is scheduled to be closed Thursday, December 23 through Monday, December 27. It will re-open Tuesday, December 28 through Wednesday, December 29 before closing again December 30. Following a 1:00 PM opening on Monday, January 3, the Library will resume its normal hours. Sunday hours will return for the season on January 9.
The extended closure will allow the well-used, ten-year-old Library to receive a thorough cleaning of floors and carpets, which is usually difficult to arrange since the Library is open six or seven days each week.
The Library's drop boxes will be open throughout the entire holiday season.
