Library to Unveil “More Than A Book” Exhibit During Gallery Night

Tompkins County Public Library will celebrate the opening of “More Than A Book,” an exhibit honoring the unheralded virtues of the written word, during Downtown Ithaca’s Gallery Night, Friday, May 5 from 5 to 8 p.m. in the Library’s Avenue of the Friends.

On display through June, “More Than A Book” is curated by Maude Rith and recognizes that books can be more than the physical holder of a story or information. They can connet their readers with memories, serve as inspiration for art and much, much more. Featured artists include: Janet Edwards, Jim Garmhausen, Kumi Korf, Lee-Ellen Marvin, Margie Nelson, Laura Robert and Teresa Yatsko.

After-hours access to the Library during Gallery Night will be available through the BorgWarner Community Room entrance adjacent to the East Green Street TCAT bus shelter.
