Friends of the Franklin Library

April 2024

Be sure to thank our AWESOME Franklin Public Library team! Did you know that National Library Workers’ Day is celebrated on Tuesday, April 9, 2024? This is an opportunity to show love to those who keep our libraries running while we get lost in the wonderful books, programs, and opportunities they offer every day. Be sure to take a moment to thank your favorite librarians when you are next at our library, and especially so if you happen to be there on “their” day, April 9 th ! And from the Friends to the entire Franklin Public Library staff, THANK YOU for all you do!
