Nora Snyder

As most of you know, I am a huge supporter of libraries. I work with a number of them in the capacity of story hour reader for the preschool set but I also participate in TCPL's adult programing and events like the most recent gallery show and the music and poetry salon. TCPL offers our community, of all ages, so many wonderful opportunities. In addition, my family takes advantage not only of books-on-shelves but also audiobooks, a fantastic selection of graphic novels, all the seasonal magazines that we like to look at but don't want to buy, DVDs (which came in handy especially when we went on vacation with no wifi, we watched the entire first season of Scrubs!) and passes for local treasures like Museum of the Earth, Cayuga Nature Center and the State Parks. I am so grateful to have a meeting spot to gather comfortably (and free, with wifi) and a place conveniently downtown where my kids can go and be safe, socialize, play video games, and even eat in the new beautiful teen section. So please- contribute to the Readathon, support all that our library offers, and if you haven't gone in awhile- I urge you to check out your local library!

About this Campaign

Nora Snyder

a 24-hour out loud reading challenge to raise funds and awareness for the Tompkins County Public Library

WHAT: The READATHON is our challenge to read out loud - one reader at a time, 30 minutes each, for 24 hours straight - to raise funds for our public library. This year our goal is to raise $25,000 with your help. Take a stand (or a comfy seat!) and help raise money and awareness. 


WHEN & WHERE: Saturday, September 29 @ noon through Sunday, September 30 @ noon, on the corner at 101 East Green Street, right in front of the public library


WHY: The TCPL lends nearly a million items each year- a remarkably high level for a community of our size. Supporting a reader with your donation helps our library to provide materials like books, music, DVDs, computer stations and other digital tools, as well as guidance and support for our patrons.

But the library's not just about things- it's also a place for babies to experience early literacy by engaging with books in story time, a place where job-seekers can get help navigating online listings and applications. It's a safe place for teens to be entertained and explore, a place to feature local voices and encourage the expression of new ones. It's a place to engage the imagination and come together. It is truly the heart of our community.

And it's all possible thanks to donations such as yours. Please support our fearless readers and give today!
