Mitzi shares all the key events at the Franklin Public Library during June 2026 (video & audio)

FM #1752 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1752 in the series.

This session shares my conversation with Mitzi Gousie, Programming and Outreach Librarian with the Franklin Public Library. We had our discussion virtually on Tuesday, May 26, 2026.

We talk about

Reviewed the regular open hours, book sale and holiday scheduling for the month

Closed on Sundays due to budget reduction
Closed all day on Friday, June 19 for Juneteenth
Closed all day Saturday, June 20 to make a long weekend

Library events for June 2026

In calendar order rather than by category this time around

Registration for those events required should be done through the Town website, Library page. There are nefarious folks trying to convince folks otherwise via Facebook. Be safe, use the official Town and Library pages.

The show notes include links to the Library page and to the calendar of events where registration for some of the events is required/recommended.

The recording runs about 27 minutes, so let’s listen in.
