Library to Host Nationally-Touring Children’s Musician Laura Doherty

Tompkins County Public Library has announced a free, Friday August 19 performance by award-winning children’s recording artist Laura Doherty.

Winner of multiple Parent’s Choice awards, Nappa Gold and the American Library Association’s prestigious Notable Children’s Recording Award, Doherty, of Chicago, will make a rare tour stop in Ithaca to share fun-filled, folk-pop favorites from her albums “Kids in the City,” “Shining Like a Star,” and “In a Heartbeat” with young fans.

Doherty has performed at festivals, including Lollapalooza, and at premier venues across the country and has recorded educational songs for Disney Sound with indie rocker Ralph Covert of Ralph’s World.

This program will begin at 11:30 a.m. in the Library’s BorgWarner Community Room.  It is free and open to families with children ages 10 and under. Copies of Doherty’s CDs will be available for purchase at the event.
