Library Launches Art Exhibit Highlighting Local Muslim Experience


Tompkins County Public Library, with support from Islamic Community Outreach Services and the Greater Ithaca Activities Center, has announced “Ordinary People: Stories and Treasures,” an exhibit highlighting the cultural experiences of the local Muslim community.

Through family stories and heirlooms, “Ordinary People: Stories and Treasures” shares the values and struggles of Tompkins County residents who identify as Muslim and offers insight into the shared experiences that help bridge religious and cultural differences.

The exhibit will be on display in the Library’s Avenue of the Friends through April 22.

For more information, contact the Library’s Exhibit Coordinator, Sally Grubb, at sgrubb@tcpl.org or (607) 272-4557 extension 232.
