BE A PART OF HISTORY, AND A FRIEND OF THE NATION'S FIRST PUBLIC LIBRARY

What's Happening!
💛 Annual Meeting
You Are Invited – come see what we’ve been busy with this year! The Friends will hold our 2026 Annual Meeting on Tuesday, June 16th at 7:00pm at the Library. At the Annual Meeting, we will review the Friends’ activities this past fiscal year, nominate and vote on new members for our Board of Directors, and take a quick look ahead to next year.
🍓Strawberry Stroll
Stop by to say HELLO! The Friends will be at this year’s Strawberry Stroll (Friday, June 12 from 4-8pm) and we hope you’ll stop by our booth to say HELLO and learn more about our organization and how we support the Franklin Public Library. We will have "BERRY" fun giveaways for the children and opportunities for adults to win fun, prize-filled themed tote bags.
📘 Limited-Edition Gift Book
In 2022, members of the Franklin Library Association published a limited-edition book sharing the remarkable story of the Town of Franklin and its historic library.
The Franklin Library Association: Building the Future of the Nation’s First Public Library, 1858–2022 highlights the philanthropists and community leaders who supported the library for more than a century—before it became a town department in the 1980s.
