Purchase some pastries to support the library! The Friends of the Library are hosting a spring fundraiser selling delicious goodies from Pastries by Andrea. They are great for Mother’s Day, graduation parties, and showers.
You can choose from Andrea’s delicious Baklava, Lady Locks, and Kolachi. Baklava (pictured, far left) is a delicate phyllo, honey, and walnut pastry. Lady Locks (pictured, center) are tender filled cream horns. Kolachi (pictured, right) are long filled rolls, and you can choose apricot or nut filling. All can be frozen for up to two months.
Orders are due by Monday, May 6. Orders can be picked up at the library on Friday, May 10 between 11:00 AM and 8:00 PM.
Kolachi are $12, Baklava are $10 for 12 or $15 for 18, and Lady Locks are $12 for 18 – 20.

The 18th Annual Quiltathon is coming up on Friday, April 12 and Saturday, April 13. Quilters will be in the library from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on both days, quilting. Stop by one or both days to quilt, or stop by to watch the quilters in action.
The quilters will be working on an I Spy quilt top, made and donated by Sherry Bastecki of The Flying Needles, as well as an Amish-style table runner and matching place mats, made and donated by Krista Cloonan.
The Quiltathon is an annual fundraiser sponsored by the Friends of the Library. The money raised this year will be used towards the Children’s Room roof repair. You can support the Quiltathon in a few ways.
- Collect sponsors and do not quilt.
- Volunteer your time to quilt and collect sponsors.
- Stop by and watch the quilters in action to offer your moral support! There will also be small handmade items for sale.
Anyone who collects three or more sponsors will be entered for a chance to win one of three prizes: a $50 gas card, the completed I Spy quilt, or the completed table runner and placemats.
Anyone who would like to quilt is welcome to join in. Experience is nice, but it is not necessary. If you can hold a needle, you can quilt! Quilters can pick up sponsor sheets at the library, as well as at Neverending Stories in downtown Franklin. Quilting is a great way to relax and enjoy the fellowship with old and new friends, and the Quiltathon is a great way to support your library.
