Love is in the air at the Tompkins County Public Library
this February, as the Tompkins County Public Library Foundation and the Friends
of the Library celebrate Library Lovers Month.
Patrons are encouraged to express their love for TCPL throughout February by participating in one of the many special events planned to commemorate Library Lovers Month. From giving a library valentine to a loved one, sharing a letter of support with a local legislator, or becoming the star of a READ poster, February offers an abundance of opportunities to celebrate the library.
All month, patrons will be able to honor a special individual, organization or cause by purchasing a heart at the Library’s Circulation Desk. Hearts are available for $1, and will be personalized and put on display in the Library’s rotunda. Hearts will also be available for purchase from members of the Friends of the Tompkins County Public Library at the Shops at Ithaca Mall on February 2.
Library lovers may also recognize a friend or family member by adopting a book in their honor or by gifting someone with a membership to the Friends of the Library at http://www.booksale.org/join/memberform.php.
On Saturday, February 23, visitors to TCPL can become stars of their very own READ posters. Photos will be taken—between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.-- of individuals, families or friends showcasing their favorite books. Full color posters will be created from the photos for a charge of $12 per print.
Library lovers can also show their love all year by volunteering for jobs ranging from shelving DVDs to “The Reader Is In” read-aloud program, helping the library staff with special projects and spreading the word about the importance of public libraries.
For more information, contact Liz Hudson at (607) 272-4557 ext. 219 or lhudson@tcpl.org.
