2020 READATHON

The 8th annual out loud reading challenge

to raise funds for the Tompkins County

Public Library

The READATHON is our challenge to read out loud – one reader at a time, 30-minutes each, all day long – to raise funds for our public library. Readers and supporters gather to share their love of reading, books, community – and the Library!

WHEN:   

Saturday, April 25, from 8:00 am to 12:00 midnight

WHERE:

BorgWarner Community Room West 

Tompkins County Public Library

101 E. Green Street, Ithaca

​

Every dollar raised helps to buy books and other materials our community so desperately needs. Nearly a million items are used each year—a remarkably high level for a community of our size—and 100% of the funding for annual purchases comes from private support like yours.

​

We need your help to keep us all reading!
