Mitzi shares the Event Highlights for October 2025 at the Franklin public Library (audio)

FM #1518 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1518 in the series. 


This session shares my conversation with Mitzi Gousie, Programming and Outreach Librarian with the Franklin Public Library. We had our discussion on Monday, September 22, 2025 in the Franklin TV & Radio Studio.

 

We talk about 

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

    • Closed on Sundays due to budget reduction

    • Closed October 13 for Columbus or Indigenous People’s Day

    • Book sale weekend October 17 & 18

  • Library events for October 2025

    • 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 24 minutes, so let’s listen in.
