Support Terk in the annual READATHON. Friends, readers, families, librarians, and organizations (even unsuspecting people just wandering by) are joining together to take a stand in support of literacy, learning, and free and equal access to the world’s information. It’s the annual challenge to read out loud for 24 hours – one reader at a time, a world of books – and they want your help. Readers complete 30-minute ‘legs’ of the reading marathon, before they pass the microphone to the next reader for a full 24 hours of reading. 100% of the library’s purchasing is funded by private contributions like these. Support Terk and the Tompkins County Public Library in this year’s READATHON.
