Join us this Saturday, April 27 for the Tompkins County Public Library Foundation’s READATHON. The annual read-out-loud fundraising event will take place beginning at 8:00 am and ending at midnight. In its seventh year, the READATHON enlists community members to raise funds for TCPL, culminating in a day-long celebration of reading aloud outside the library building on Green Street. We welcome all forms of literature and have had past readers share passages from classics to their own short stories, stories shared in Spanish and ASL, and even books sung as operas. This year the creativity is bursting, and we can't wait for you to join us for as long (or as little) as you'd like!

Our 2019 READATHON fundraising goal of $25,000 will be used to purchase materials for the library’s collection, such as books, movies, music, and more. To find a full list of this year's readers, go to www.tcplfoundation.org/readathon. To donate to a specific reader, go to http://readathon-2019.everydayhero.do/ and find readers' names listed in the right-hand column.

We hope to see you on Saturday!
