Watch the performance here!
Master storyteller Diane Edgecomb entertains young and old with this delightful, livestream performance of unusual fairytales. From enchanted bears, to determined princesses, to Jack’s hilarious adventure when he gets dancing bugs instead of beans – Once Upon a Time has never been this fun! Winner of both the national and regional Circle of Excellence award for her storytelling, Diane is known for transforming into the characters in her tales bringing each story to vibrant life. Link to the performance is posted above and will remain active until July 24, 2020.

This program is made possible in full with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County.

Planning on spending lots of time outside this summer? You can now place a hold on one of our Empire Passes! This year thanks to generous sponsorship from the Town of Ulysses and the Trumansburg Education Foundation, the library now has SIX passes available; each pass will admit one car to any park in the New York State Parks system.

You can use the Empire Pass for entry to local parks including Taughannock Falls and Watkins Glen, as well as many, many more parks, beaches, lakes, and trails all over the state from Niagara to Long Island.

You can place a hold online or by phone. Passes will be held for up to one week, and then loaned for a week from pickup date. Please return as soon as you are finished with them so others can make use of them!

We at the library are gearing up for Summer Reading 2020: Imagine Your Story. Visit our Summer Reading Page to see how things are going to work this year and for links to registration, digital reading logs, and more. On that page you can also download the youth program flyer below as well as printable reading log bookmarks if you prefer to keep track by coloring as you go. We look forward to an imaginative summer of reading with our wonderful library community!

We are excited to announce we will begin offering pickup service outside the building the week of June 15! You can now place items at this library on hold through the library’s catalog online or call the library at 607-387-5623 to request books over the phone. You will be able to pick up your checked-out holds and requests at the back door of the library (parking lot side) during Grab-and-Go hours: Tuesday & Thursday 9am-Noon and Wednesday 5-8pm. Please wear a mask or face covering when picking up your items.

There is no Finger Lakes Library System delivery at this time, so please return items borrowed from UPL to us, not another library. The book drops are now open, all materials returned will go through quarantine procedures. Please use the book drops instead of trying to hand materials directly to staff during Grab-and-Go hours. To get started placing holds go to the ‘Books, Ebooks & More’ tab of our website trumansburglibrary.org and click on ‘Search the Catalog’.

Thank you for your patience and for keeping your library materials safe at home during the NY PAUSE shutdown. We look forward to seeing you and continuing to serve this wonderful community of readers!
