Library Foundation Seeks Builders, Donors and Sponsors for LEGO Project

Since 1864, the Tompkins County Public Library has served as a metaphoric building block on the path to success for countless area residents.  This spring, the Library will celebrate those successes and unveil plans for a 21^st Century library with thousands of actual building blocks.

Library staff, patrons and community organizations are being asked to work together to create a 6-foot by 6-foot LEGO® model of the newly reimagined TCPL, featuring a soon-to-be-constructed teen center and a 21^st Century Learning Lab, from nearly 100,000 colorful LEGO bricks.

The first of its kind for a public library in the United States, the TCPL LEGO Build will bring together library lovers and LEGO enthusiasts of all ages in support of the Library. For $50, individuals, families, businesses and community organizations will receive a module to build.  Once assembled, the modules will create a lasting replica of TCPL.

Modules are limited, so interested individuals and groups are encouraged to reserve their kit today by clicking the TCPL LEGO Build icon at http://www.tcplfoundation.org/. Information about volunteering and sponsorship opportunities is also available online.
