The Library will be closing at 4:00 p.m. today because of the weather.  We expect to be open tomorrow from noon to 3:00.

Our November First Wednesday Tea & Talk will cover phone scams; how to recognize fake calls, some common fraudulent phone call scenarios, and ways to protect you and your family.  This program will update a talk from February 2018.  November 6th from 1:00 to 2:30 at the Library.  Refreshments will be served.  Free transportation is available: call 565-5054 or email thefranklinlibrary@gmail.com

RSU 24 schools are closed because of power and transportation problems from the wind storm, so there will be no After-School Program at the Library today.  However, the Library will be open from 1:00 to 5:00 this afternoon – we have power!

A reminder that the Library’s Friday After-School Program has begun!  This Friday’s (10/25) session includes a guest instructor on outdoor skills: how to use a compass.  For sign-up details please see the flyer below.

Our Friday After School Program begins Friday Oct 18th. Sign up now by notifying the Mountain View School Secretary (207) 422-3200 or calling Linda Dinsmore at (207) 667-8915. It’s for kids in grades 2-6. The school bus will drop kids after school at the library but they will need a note to ride. Parents need to pick children up by 4:30 P.M. We will operate every Friday that school is in session until mid- May, 2020.
