TCPL to Offer Children’s Library at Annual Kids’ Book Fest

Tompkins County Public Library will celebrate the joy of reading, the power of information and the strength of community connections by hosting the first-ever, on-site circulating library at the Family Reading Partnership’s Kids’ Book Fest, Saturday, November 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Boynton Middle School.

Members of the Library’s Youth Services staff will share books, activities and help children check-out select titles from the Library’s collection during this fun-filled family event.  Children will also be able to register for library cards and explore library science by using their imaginations to play librarian at TCPL’s mini-library.

The 18th annual Kids’ Book Fest, a community celebration of children’s books is a free event designed to share the joy of reading together.  This year’s event will celebrate Eric Carle’s classic book, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.”  By connecting children and families with books, stories, and words in positive, memorable ways, Kids’ Book Fest encourages families to make reading part of every day and helps create a lifelong love of literacy and learning.
