LiveARTS String Quartet Concert: Sunday, May 17 at 3:00 -- Haydn, Mendelssohn, Schumann
Mitzi shares the insights on the special events at the Library in May 2027 (video & audio)
FM #1733 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1733 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, April 21, 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 Monday, May 25 for Memorial Day
Library events for May 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 17 minutes, so let’s listen in.
