Library to Celebrate Adult Summer Reading With Program on Home Remedies and Emergency Care

In celebration of “Build A Better World,” the Tompkins County Public Library’s Adult Summer Reading Program, the Library will host “Home Remedies and Emergency Care,” an informative program and demonstration on  how to use everyday items to heal and improve health, Tuesday, June 27 at 6 p.m. in the BorgWarner Community Room-West.

Facilitated by Jacquelyn Blizzard, co-director of the Eastman Hill Health and Training Center and local natural health instructor, this program will offer tips for curing and minimizing the symptoms of common ailments and injuries-- like using an onion to cure congestion and potatoes for pain relief.

The Library’s “Build a Better World” Summer Reading Program encourages adult readers to share the bond of books by reading and reviewing books. Participants who read and write a short review of a book between June 24 and August 5 will be eligible to win raffle prizes donated by local businesses. Authors of the top three reviews, as judged by Summer Reading librarians, will receive special prizes.

Reviews should be dropped off at the Adult Reference Desk or submitted through the summer reading website http://tcpl.org/events-exhibits/summer-reading.php. Registration and reviews will not be accepted until June 24.
