LCL History and Community of Lansing:

The Lansing Community Library was first established in July 2000, as a Reading Room of the Tompkins County Public Library. First known as the Lansing Community Library Center, the library has been an all volunteer organization since its inception. Community interest and demand led to rapid expansion in the library’s collection and programs. Following a significant capital campaign, major expansion and renovation of the original school-house building was completed in January 2006. In March 2008, LCL received a Library Charter from New York State, and the name was changed to reflect its status as an independent library. Today, the Lansing Community Library is part of the Finger Lakes Library System.

Lansing is an upstate town of approximately 10,500 in the heart of the Finger Lakes Region of New York. The population is drawn from a mix of rural and small communities. Primary employment is in farming, local industry and business, and area colleges and universities.
