Spring 2015 - Ulysses Philomathic Library
ULYSSES PHILOMATHIC LIBRARY! SPRING 2015 Philomathic News Library Outreach A Winter Escape From our central location on Main Street, the library serves as a meeting spot, an afterschool activity center, and an art & story exploration hour. We are a place to borrow books, music, and movies, and of course, a place to read, both in-print and online. But the library also reaches beyond our building and website to bring our resources into this community. ! "That's it. We surrender. Winter, you win. Key West anyone?" said the VisitIthaca.com website in a February post that went viral. Here in Trumansburg, though, we never surrender. And with our army of dedicated volunteers at UPL, we can shovel our way through whatever winter dishes out.! Thanks to our many volunteers, we have three locations outside the library for storytimes: at the Presbyterian Chapel for baby storytime with Jackie Puleo in partnership with the Trumansburg Community Nursery School, at the Jacksonville WIC site for reading with the Family Reading Partnership, and at the Trumansburg Farmer’s Market during those longed for warmer days. We also deliver books to those who cannot come to the library with our Books at Home program led by Kathy Carpenter. Collections of large type and mystery books are circulated at the Evergreen House and Juniper Manor as well. New babies born at Cayuga Medical Center are sent home with a library card and new book, thanks to a program with all the libraries in Tompkins County and the Family Reading Partnership. With support from the United Way, the Friends of Tompkins County Public Library, and the Ulysses Christmas Bureau, we are on our third year of providing a monthly book in the backpacks of food sent home with children in need through the Trumansburg Food Pantry and the Trumansburg Central School District. ! "Due to this ridiculously stupid winter, Ithaca invites you to visit the Florida Keys this week.” UPL isn’t inviting you to escape to the Keys, but we’ll help you escape in a good book. Or if you’d like to learn about warmer climes, come on in and check out a travel book or two. Perhaps use one of our many computers to plan a trip. ! Working with our community has led to our newest outreach endeavor, circulating museum passes to the Museum of the Earth and the Cayuga Nature Center as part of the Paleontological Research Institute’s Community Accessibility program. For more information, please visit our library at trumansburglibrary.org, on Main Street, or wherever you find us… Annette Birdsall! Director! “Please come back when things thaw out.” Sure, it may be cold outside, but we’ve got a nice warm fireplace and comfortable chairs to curl up in. Even the floor in the children’s section has radiant heat (and you don’t have to be a kid to sit on the floor). On the other hand, if you enjoy the frosty outdoors, borrow a book on winter sports.! “Really, it's for the birds here now." Winter is for the birds—it’s the perfect time of year to enjoy them as they visit your feeders. Need help identifying our feathered friends? We’ve got an amazing book, Audubon’s Birds of America, at our reference desk. Want to do something nice for the birds this summer? There’s a beautiful bird bath on display that’s being raffled in May.! So, Ithaca (and everyone else), if winter’s getting you down, don’t surrender, escape to UPL where it’s always nice inside. ! ! ! Stevan Knapp! President !
