FRANKLIN LIBRARY

The Library is closed today because of the snowstorm.

Join us at the Franklin Library on Wednesday February, 6th for “Tea & Talk,” from 1:00 P.M. – 2:30 P.M. This month we will investigate winter weeds, those dried plants that we see sticking up out of the snow along the roads and in fields this time of year. We will use library resources and the tiny book, “Winter Weed Finder,” by Dorcas S. Miller for identification.

Join us Wed. January 2, 2019 for TEA & TALK from 1:00 P.M. – 2:30 P.M. Beverly Alteri will be speaking about Chalk Couture, specializing in reusable silk screen transfers for DIY home decor and crafts, along with organic chalk pastes and inks, and surfaces. Our make and take workshop takes you step by step from beginning to having a finished product to take home. Sponsored by the Franklin Library. Come and try it!

No after-school program today (school vacation) and, because of the weather, the Library will be closed today.  We will be open tomorrow (Sat. 12/29) from 10:00 to 1:00.

                                            Because there is no more space on the Franklin Library shelves, on the book sales porch, or in the Library Director’s house, we are unable to accept any more book donations until further notice.  However, we appreciate your generosity and suggest you donate books in good condition to other area libraries, community organizations or Goodwill.
