On Feb. 10, journalist and biographer Jonathan Eig visited the Tompkins County Public Library to speak about his book “King: A Life.” In 2024, the Martin Luther King Jr. biography won a Pulitzer Prize. Eig spoke to attendees about his years of research and King’s work as a civil rights activist and preacher while also uncovering who King was as a person. 

The Friends of the Tompkins County Public Library hosted their annual fall book sale this month in Ithaca. You can visit the book sale from Oct. 19–21, or Oct. 26–29.

Cardboard boxes and paper bags line the entrance of the warehouse for customers to use as they peruse through aisles of old books at the Fall Book Sale.

The sounds of power tools and laughter echoed in the halls of the New Roots Charter School Jan. 30 as Ithaca College students worked together with one goal in mind: giving back.
