Volunteer Spotlight!
Congratulations to our two recipients of the 2018 Volunteer Recognition Award: Judy Barkee and Shirley McAneny! Joseph Keith Baldwin’s book Tales of Old Trumansburg has been added to the library collection in Judy’s honor, and The Birds at My Table: Why We Feed Wild Birds and Why It Matters by Darryl Jones has been added to the collection in Shirley’s honor.
The library is currently recruiting volunteers to help at our circulation desk, assisting patrons with checking in and out materials and also in our book sale sorting room, managing the intake of book donations year round for our library book sale. If interested, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Heather Tielens for more information: 607-387-5623 upl@trumansburglibrary.org
You can print a Volunteer Application here or pick one up in person at the library!
Local Authors Night
Local Authors Night
Thursday, November 29 at 6:30PM
in the Melvin Room
Meet two local authors and hear all about their newest book releases!
Cly Boehs- Back Then: “Caroline Jantz listens to and reflects on the tales of five members of her family, stories that change the perceptions she has of them, but more profoundly change her place with them in her life and in the stories they tell. These accounts center around recently-discovered family photographs, some from albums, some from dusty old attics, but all long forgotten.”
Gordon Bonnet- The Fifth Day: “Within twenty-four hours, the sudden and nearly universal presentiment of doom experienced by folks in the peaceful beach town of Furness, California is found to be horrifyingly accurate when a handful of people wake up to find that their friends, families and loved ones–in fact, most of the inhabitants of the Earth– have simultaneously vanished without a trace.”
