With the kids back
at school are you looking for a place for all those gently used books
CDs, DVDs, Tapes, or Magazines? Why not donate them to The
Friends of the Franklin Public Library Annual Book Sale?
This popular annual
event helps the Friends sponsor numerous events at the Library such as the
wonderful cooking classes presented by Staci Joers, quilting
classes or the successful Divas and Divine Desserts program. In addition
to these great community events, the funds raised by the Friends help support
programs that the Library budget simply cannot afford. This past year the
Friends donated $14,000 toward computers for the
children’s department, $8,000 toward updated books about foreign
countries and the 50 states and $4,500 toward the children’s, young adult
and adult summer reading program.
Help the Friends continue supporting the Franklin Public
Library and to continue to offer these community programs by donating your
books and other material to the Library for their sale. Drop off your used
books at the Franklin Public Library between the hours of 10 and 8:30 Monday
through Thursday and 10 to 5pm on Friday.
The book sale will be held on Friday, September 11th
10am - 5pm,
Saturday, September 12th 10am - 5pm, and Sunday, September 13th 1pm - 4pm
