2021 READATHON

The 9th annual read-out-loud challenge

to raise funds for Tompkins County

Public Library

In 2020, the READATHON went totally VIRTUAL, and raised $22,454! In 2021, the event will also be online, so that viewers can witness Library lovers reading out loud in their own homes, outside, or in some other special or unusual place.

​

The READATHON is a fundraiser for new library materials, where readers and supporters share their love of reading, books, community – and the Library!  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!

Sign-ups are happening now! If you love TCPL and want to help raise funds to support it, go here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c4da5a82ca7f8c25-readathon
