Tompkins County Public Library, Public library in Ithaca, United States.
The Tompkins County Public Library occupies a renovated former department store building at the intersection of Cayuga and Green Street in downtown Ithaca.
Ezra Cornell established the library in 1864 as the Cornell Free Library, which received its charter from the New York State Legislature and began circulation in 1867.
The library functions as a community center by presenting art exhibitions, organizing civic engagement programs, and providing educational activities for children, teenagers, and adults.
The library grants free access to digital resources, wireless internet, databases, electronic books, and print collections to residents of six different counties in the region.
Children develop reading skills through the program 'Sit Stay Read' where they read books aloud to therapy dogs in a structured learning environment.
