Tomkins Cove Public Library 150th Anniversary Celebration Over 100 celebrants enjoyed a sunny September afternoon to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Tomkins Cove Public Library. Attendees included current and former residents, prior students and teachers from when the building served as a school, dignitaries, and supporters of all ages. Calvin Tomkins (1793-1890), founder of the Library, made a 'guest appearance' via costumed re-enactor to speak about the history of both the town and the library. TCPL was awarded a Proclamation from NYS Assemblymember Chris Eachus, and a Certificate of Recognition from NYS Senator Pete Harckham. A wonderful time was had by all as this important milestone was honored - appreciation of the library and reverence for its history were on full display!
