Kids Discover the Trail & Trumansburg Kids Explore and Discover at the Tompkins County Public Library!

Did you know ...

TCPL welcomes ALL of the Kindergarteners in the Ithaca City and Trumansburg School Districts for special class visits? During the visits, two classes visit together, with the Kindergarteners buddied up with a Kindergartener from the other class. Together, they enjoy an interactive storytime, Buddy Book Time, and a “Library Lion Hunt” tour of the Youth Services Department!
We have been welcoming the Kindergarteners from ICSD since 2005!
We have been welcoming the Trumansburg Kindergarteners since 2010!
Over 400 Kindergarteners now visit the library through this program each year!
Since the program’s beginning in 2005, TCPL has had over 2600 Kindergarteners visit and learn about the library!

Each Kindergartener who visits receives a free copy of the book Library Lion by Michelle Knudsen and a new library card!
