mom and baby readingDon’t forget to sign up for a Summer Reading Program!  We offer programs for all ages, from babies through adults.  Summer reading programs help kids of all ages avoid “summer slide.”  To learn more about “summer slide” and the snowball effect it has on kids, check out this page from the literacy non-profit, RIF: Reading is Fundamental.

To see the full  list of our 2013 Summer Reading Program events, check the 2013 Summer Reading Program page (always available under the “Services” tab at the top of this page).

Free Library Card Offer

franklin public libraryThis summer we are offering free library cards for unserved Venango County families.  Typically we charge $10 per family for a three-month non-resident card.  For the remainder of June, and all of July and August, these cards are free.  Free cards expire on the last day of August.

If you live in Cranberry or Rockland townships (Venango County), stop by the library to sign up for your free card.  (Bring your Driver’s License or state-issued photo ID, and a piece of mail that shows your current address.)  The card entitles you to full library privileges, which includes borrowing books, DVDs, e-books, audiobooks, and magazines.  And be sure to sign up for our 2013 Summer Reading Program while you’re here.

The summer is a great time to take advantage of all the resources offered at the public library.  We hope to see you soon!
