Effective 3/16 the Library will be closed due to our responsibility to the community in limiting the spread of the Coronavirus in conjunction with Tompkins County School closings. You can still access many online resources from our website. We will continue to work with the County to complete the 2020 US Census. For more information, contact Director Ksana Broadwell at director@trumansburglibrary.org. No materials are due until July 6, 2020.
It’s one small step towards reopening, but a very important one. Starting Tuesday morning book drops will be OPEN!
If you have a large amount to return, please consider coming on Tuesday or Thursday for Bulk Drop Off between 2-5pm.
Curbside pickup of library materials is not beginning yet, but we are hard at work behind the scenes preparing for it. THANK YOU for keeping your library materials safe at home these past months!
