Library to Host Talks on Foster Care and Adoption

In conjunction with its current exhibit “Heart Gallery,” the Tompkins County Public Library will host representatives from the Tompkins County Department of Social Services for discussions on adoption and foster care September 7 at 5 p.m. and September 12 at noon.

A photographic exhibit of foster children awaiting forever families, “Heart Gallery” is designed to raise awareness about the need for foster and adoptive families in Central New York. 

Portraits included in the exhibit were photographed by members of the Professional Photographer’s Society of Central New York and private photographers.  The images will be on display at the Library through October 5.

People interested in learning more about foster care and adoption are encouraged to attend one of the discussions, which will include brief remarks followed by question and answer sessions.

For more information about the exhibit or presentations, contact Sally Grubb at (607) 272-4557 extension 232 or sgrubb@tcpl.org
