tcpl120In an ongoing effort to meet patron needs, Tompkins County Public Library Director Susan Currie has announced plans to provide remote programs and services during the Library's February 10 through 19th renovation closure.

"We recognize just how vital access to library programs and services is to our community, Currie said, "and our staff members have shown a sincere dedication to providing that access by organizing a series of off-site programs and service points while we are closed."

The following programs have been planned:


The Library has also partnered with the Tompkins County Office for the Aging to make tax forms available at the COFA office, 214 West State Street, during the closure.

A cache of resources are also available through the Library's website including digital downloads of eBooks through the OverDrive Digital Download Service, Hoopla's streaming video platform, TumbleBooks, which offers animated, talking picture books, read-along chapter books and more for young readers, and Zinio, the world's largest newsstand.

No library materials will be due during the closure and DVD borrowing limits will be doubled.

The Library's renovation project is being overseen by Tompkins County Facilities, with design services by QPK Design. Bouley Construction will serve as the project's principle contractor.

Made possible through public support of the Tompkins County Public Library Foundation's 21st Century Library Campaign, a New York State and Municipalities Program Grant, sponsored by Assemblywoman Barbara Lifton, a New York State Public Library Construction Grant sponsored by the Finger Lakes Library System, and County maintenance funds, Library renovations will also include the construction of a digital learning lab, a teen center and additional public meeting space, to be completed this spring.
