Franklin Public Library: Event Highlights for March 2026

VITA: Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
It's tax season and volunteers at Franklin Public Library are here to help! If you made $67k or less as a household in 2025, have a disability, or limited English, our volunteers are prepared to work with you to file your federal and state taxes for free. Be sure to bring all of your tax documents (such as W-2, 1099s, 1099HC, etc.), valid government issued photo ID, and social security cards (photocopies and previous returns accepted). Learn more about the VITA program and what documents you need at www.irs.gov/individuals/irs-tax-volunteers or email site coordinator Mitzi Gousie at mgousie@minlib.net.  

ESOL Tutoring Volunteers Needed
The library is looking for more volunteer tutors for our English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program. If you want to make a difference right in your own community, this is a great opportunity! No prior teaching experience needed and volunteers and students do not need to be Franklin residents. If interested, please fill out the volunteer form on our website.


Homebound Delivery Program
Can't make it to the library? Let us bring the library to your door! Franklin Public Library is pleased to offer Home Delivery Service for Franklin residents who are unable to visit the library due to aging-related limitations, illness, disability, or temporary mobility limitations. Items will be delivered to and picked up from a homebound patron's home by staff members approximately every three weeks. For eligibility requirements, registration, and more information, please visit the library website.
