Earlier this summer someone told me about free sewing classes at Franklin Public Library. I signed…read moreup and was pleasantly surprised by the vast amount of free activities at this library. There are so many different things to try. And, they have a Creative room where people can use shared craft supplies, legos, STEM toys, etc. For the sewing class, I do have to bring my own machine, but I see the shelves have rubber stamp and crochet materials; I'm sure there is more but I haven't really taken the time to look through them. It makes me jealous that my local town's library doesn't have nearly as many offerings! I'm really grateful for this library, their inclusiveness, and the plethora of recreational activities they provide for the community.

The library is one of the few social services that people *seem* to agree on or perhaps the…read moreannihilating gaze of the anti-everything crowd just hasn't settled on it yet. For those who are looking for diversion and entertainment, a work of fiction, a newspaper, a magazine, maybe movies or compact discs are available. The have an excellent selection of analog assets. For those interested in being well informed, as of now, this is also a fabulous resource of non-fiction tomes. You can get information on nearly any topic. If you use some common sense and discretion selecting a resource it may be filled with thoughtfully considered and often actual factually backed evidence. The thing might even offer a depth of information to build real understanding and vision of a topic beyond click-bait and trigger memes. They have a hold system so if you know what you want you can just wait for them to pull it and run in for it without browsing. Additionally, there is a drive up drop off making the whole process painless. You can even get the smart phone app and use your card to check out audio and e-books, videos and other materials without even leaving your sofa. If you haven't been in a while or don't have a card, you owe it to yourself to check this place out!

I love our library! Great collection, super helpful staff, great service. I utilize the app, which…read moreis so helpful. The staff picks, the lucky day shelves, the summer reading programs, and all of the many other things offered are great adds to the library experience!

I've been a regular library user and usually have positive experiences, but I was very disappointed…read morewith how I was treated regarding a STEM kit. When I borrowed the kit, all the parts were there. One set of attached blocks included a slightly off-color red piece, but the kit worked fine and I assumed that's just how it came. I supervised my children while they played and returned everything intact. Later, the library called accusing me of replacing one of the blocks with my own and told me I had to pay $34.99 for a "missing" piece. This was upsetting, since I take good care of everything I borrow and even notify the library if I ever notice something is missing. Instead of being heard, I was made to feel like I was stealing. This experience makes me worry about checking out kits or specialty items in the future. I hope the library improves how it documents the condition of items before lending them, so patrons aren't unfairly charged for problems they didn't cause.

Sunny friendly inviting location with excellent librarians and not just a good selection of books, but access to lots of audio versions of books, music, movies and comfortable seating to read, contemplate, or zone out.

It can also be contactless, where you can check yourself out if needed. It's a very bright and open space with lots of natural light and windows. All in all, I enjoy this library and am excited that the inside opened up after Covid. Keep up the good work!

There's also a good selection of books on CD for car trips and all sorts of other media formats but it's also a comfortable place to get some work or day dreaming done. If their dedicated parking lot fills up it's still easy to park within walking distance but the location is easy for Southsiders to bike to and its well served by public bus. Architecturally it's an interesting round 1960s era building, and of course libraries make one a more well rounded individual.
