Library to Celebrate Five Year Anniversary

Mark your calendars for a 2006 anniversary party at the library!

Five years ago this week, the Tompkins County Public Library closed it doors at 312 N. Cayuga Street and moved into its new site, the renovated Woolworth building at 101 E. Green Street.

The new library not only doubled in physical space, but usage increased dramatically. Circulation of library materials has increased 15 % while public programming audiences have increased by 77%!

In recognition of this fifth anniversary the library is planning a celebration on Saturday, January 14, 2006 from 10:30 – 4:30 p.m. which coincides with the five year anniversary of the Grand Opening. The library will give away free books, CDs, paperbacks, prizes. New users may register for free library cards. There will be anniversary cake, children’s performers, music for all ages, the ever popular Antique Book Roadshow, a Book Repair demonstration, Book Laminating workshop, photographic displays and videos of our library’s history. All events are underwritten by private donations.
