Library to Participate in “Big Draw” With All Ages Programming

In celebration of “The Big Draw,” Tompkins County Public Library will offer opportunities for children, teens and adults to express themselves through art October 19.

A program of The Campaign for Drawing, “The Big Draw” encourages people of all abilities to use drawing as a mechanism to see, think and take action.  The Draw is celebrated with programs in 15 countries.

TCPL will launch its Big Draw celebration during Family Storytime at 11 a.m. in the Thaler/Howell Programming Room.  During storytime, young lovers of literature and art will have an opportunity to express—through drawing—what the Library means to them, draw their favorite book or Library space, or recreate a favorite Library memory. 

The fun will continue with a free-draw program for adults and teens, beginning at 1 p.m. in the BorgWarner Community Room. 

Pieces created during these programs will be added to the Library’s Sesquicentennial Art Exhibit, “Diary of a Library.”

For more information about these programs, contact Exhibit Coordinator Sally Grubb at (607) 272-4557 extension 232 or Kelly Doolittle at (607) 272-4557 extension 275.  To learn more about “The Big Draw,” visit http://www.campaignfordrawing.org/about/index.aspx.
