The Tioga County Chamber of Commerce invites you to a Ribbon Cutting.
The Board of Trustees and the Executive Director of the Coburn Free Library are very happy to announce the opening of the Library’s Accessible Elevator Annex! Thanks to the Finger Lakes library construction Grant, the Downtown Rehabilitation Initiative, local foundation grants, and many individual donations, the Library is accessible to all.
A public library is the cornerstone of a community. It has the capacity to pull together all parts of its community—for education, information, enrichment, and the simple joy of borrowing a favorite book. A public library cannot do all these things if some of its members cannot access the building.  Patrons have  had difficulty using our beautiful library, the elderly, those with mobility issues, parents with strollers.
Please join us to celebrate!
 
 There will be an official ribbon-cutting at
 3:00 PM on Thursday, September 16, 2021
 followed by an Open House from 3:00pm to 6:00pm.
