100 Years of Curiosity: The Centennial Celebration of Cortland Free Library.
Since 1925, the Cortland Free Library has stood as a beacon of knowledge, curiosity, and community spirit—its shelves quietly holding the dreams and secrets of a century. Now, after 100 years of sparking imaginations and turning pages, it’s time to celebrate a legacy that helped shape the heart and mind of Cortland County.

To mark this milestone, the library is throwing a Centennial Celebration in Courthouse Park, complete with sweet treats, giveaways, hands-on activities, and special appearances by the ever-curious minds behind the library’s enduring success—including the Board of Trustees and their story-loving partners at the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.

Whether you grew up with storytime under the big windows or just found your favorite read last week, this is a chance to honor a century of community-powered knowledge. And if the skies turn gloomy? Don’t worry—the stories (and the celebration) will simply move indoors to the library itself.
