Library Announces Holiday Hours, Enhanced Borrowing

Tompkins County Public Library may be closed for a few days this holiday season, but patrons will still have access to Library services and materials.

Along with the Library’s holiday hours, Director Susan Currie has announced plans to offer double borrowing limits on books, DVDs, CDs and audiobooks between December 16 and December 28 and said no items will be scheduled for return between December 15 and January 2.

"TCPL is so fortunate to have patrons who not only use and support the Library, but truly rely on it," Currie said.  "That's why we want to make sure that we are meeting their needs even when we are closed."

The Library will be closed:

·         Tuesday, December 24
·         Wednesday, December 25
·         Thursday, December 26
·         Sunday, December 29
·         Tuesday, December 31
·         Wednesday, January 1
·         Thursday, January 2 until 1 p.m.

Currie also noted that the Library’s online, educational and entertainment resources, including:  Mango Languages’ language-learning system, OverDrive’s free eBook and audiobook service, and TumbleBooks for children, are available 365 days a year, by logging on to the Library's website at http://tcpl.org.  A complete list of available resources can be accessed by selecting the “Virtual Library” link.
