In case you missed our first post ...

What an honor! The recently-completed FLIC mural was nominated as one of the Best Murals in the World Completed in August 2025!

Will you vote for us to win? The publicity generated by winning will be so exciting to FLIC and to Ithaca.

You might have to scroll down quite a few lines to find our mural.

FREE! We often are gifted supplies and we happily pass them on to the community. The quantities, sizes, styles, items, of course, change constantly, but if you are in need, you can always see what we have in the lobby.

This is what we have right now.

All items are first come, first serve; we can't reserve any items.
