Mission Statement
The Friends of the Franklin County Public Library work to promote the sense of community and learning initiated by programs and services offered by the Franklin County Public Library; programs that are free to everyone. The Friends promote library activities at community events and provide volunteer workers for special library programs. The Friends engage in fund raising so that we can help financially with library programs and purchase equipment that the library budget doesn't cover.
