Celebrate National Mentoring Month by Becoming a Mentor

ITHACA—The Tompkins County Public Library and the Ithaca Youth Bureau’s One-to-One Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ithaca and Tompkins County program invites you to learn about becoming a mentor at their first-ever Mentoring Mini-Fair, Thursday, January 31, 2008 from 4-7:00 PM in the Library’s Ezra Cornell Reading Room.

If you are over 18 and interested in making a difference in the life of a local student aged 6 to 14, the Mentoring Mini-Fair is the perfect place for you to learn what it takes to get involved.

The Mini-Fair will feature information about the application process, which programs need volunteers and the opportunity to meet real “bigs and littles”. Refreshments will be available and the fair is designed to work around busy schedules-- participants may stay for a few minutes or a few hours.
