Community Reading of the U.S. Constitution

Join the Tompkins County Historical Commission, Interim Tompkins County Historian Carol Kammen, the Greater Ithaca Activities Center, and Tompkins County Public Library for a community reading of the U.S. Constitution.

This non-partisan event is a chance to reflect on the rule of law at a time of great crisis. Those in attendance will have the opportunity to sign up to read a portion of the Constitution and its Amendments. Volunteers on site will be available to take pictures of readers upon request. Please share pictures on social media using #ConstitutionAtTCPL.

Free pocket Constitutions will also be available for those in attendance.

Because of limited space, and because this is a non-partisan event, please leave any posters, signs, flags or political paraphernalia off-site.
