November 6-20, we will be having the carpet replaced on the east half of the library, from the fireplace area over to the study rooms/CreateSpace.

During this time, all study rooms, Sievert Conference Room, and CreateSpace will be inaccessible along with the adult PCs. Patrons will still be able to access computers in the Children's Area and check out laptops, but printing services will be limited.

Patrons will not be allowed to enter the work zone for the duration of the project. Staff will be able to retrieve most books for patrons. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to the completion of the project.
Did you know??
The share of City taxes that the Franklin Public Library received in 2024 is 6.15%. This translates to 24.9 cents per $1,000 in assessed value. For example, the average Franklin home assessed at $400,000 would pay $99.60 per year for the Library.

$100 per year gives our community access to all that FPL has to offer - books, movies, audiobooks, computer access, Explorer Passes, our Tool Library, CreateSpace, library programming for all ages, and so much more! FPL is the best value in the city. If you love FPL and what it has to offer, and want FPL to continue to be able to serve our community, please give a shout out of support to your alderperson today!

Join us Thursday, Dec. 5 at 1pm for a showing of Scrooge.

Oscar nominated for Best Original Score and Best Song ("Thank You Very Much").
