We're participating in the 2021 READATHON because we love Tompkins County Public Library and want to raise funds to help buy books, films, and other materials patrons depend on to remain informed, entertained, and educated. 100% of the funding for annual purchases comes from private support, like that raised by our READATHON.

Ballet & Books is a literacy and dance mentorship program based out of Southside Community Center, dedicated to strengthening the confidence and community of young children through dance while building literacy skills and excitement for reading. They pride themselves on serving a diverse community of families and representing diverse backgrounds themselves.
