How about Diamond Art De-stress or Mahjong Meetup at the Franklin Public Library

Diamond Art De-stress
Saturday, April 18 1:00—3:00 PM
Give your day some Sparkle & Zen...
Enjoy a meditative diamond art project! All materials provided. Registration required. For ages 18+. Registration Required


Mahjong Meetup
Tuesday, April 28 6:00—7:45 PM
Whether you have a rudimentary knowledge of Mahjong or have been playing for years, we would love to have you join us for an evening of strategy, luck and fun. This is an opportunity for the novice to hone their skills and experienced players to share their knowledge. This event is for adults 18+.

Knowledge of the American or other versions of Mahjong rules is necessary. At this event, the game is not taught. If you have a Mahjong set, you are encouraged to bring it. National Mahjong League cards are not provided.

Play begins at 6pm, but the fun can start any time before the library closes!

We are looking for volunteers to run a teaching table for new people to learn the game. If you are interested, please contact Mitzi Gousie at mgousie@minlib.net.

Read your Favorite Poem at the Franklin Public Library, Saturday, April 18

You can read your Favorite Poem at the Franklin Public Library, Saturday, April 18 at 1:30 PM


Come celebrate National Poetry Month at the Franklin Public Library with a Favorite Poem Reading!


Joy Harjo (US Poet Lauriat from 2019 - 2022)


“When I began to listen to poetry, it’s when I began to listen to the stones, and I began to listen to what the clouds had to say, and I began to listen to others. And I think, most importantly for all of us, then you begin to learn to listen to the soul, the soul of yourself in here, which is also the soul of everyone else.”


Favorite Poem Reading hosted by Steve Sherlock 


Choose a favorite published poem that you have long treasured or recently discovered. Share it by reading it to those gathered for this event.


Use the form to sign up to read your favorite poem -> 

https://forms.gle/YvfTLzxTYYtQDDDE6 



Note: Poems may not be ones you or family members, or friends have written.  


Limit: Five minutes reading time.









Note: We’ll be in the Friends Room, in the ‘new’ section of the building. The Book Sale is running in the other section.


Note: The audio of the readings will be recorded for future broadcast by Franklin Public Radio. You can choose to have your reading part of the recording or not.
