Library Support Needed
Have 15 minutes to spare? Help us in the Library!
The Franklin Library is back! Now that the library construction is done, we need a "Shelf Squad" to help keep things organized while the children enjoy storytime.
You can sign up and volunteer during a specific class's library time, or come help as pop-in volunteers! If you’re 15 minutes early for pickup, come say hi and help us reshelve a few library books.
Check out the Library tab in our Volunteer Sign-up sheet to find a time that works for you. We can’t wait to see you there!
