📚Celebrate National Library Workers Day!
Did you know National Library Workers Day is Tuesday, April 21?
 

There are so many reasons to appreciate the people who keep our libraries welcoming, organized, and full of life. From helping us track down our next great read to offering programs, technology, and community resources, library staff make the library a place where everyone can learn, connect, and explore.

The next time you stop by to pick up a book, attend a program or use one of the library’s many resources; please take a moment to share a quick THANK YOU with the staff. Their dedication makes it all possible.

💙The Friends extend our sincerest thanks to all of our wonderful library staff!

📘 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.
