FC Library is Fine Free
An historic moment occurred at Franklin County Library on Jan. 12, as the Library went Fine Free by a unanimous vote from the Trustees.
Overdue and/or lost items may be returned via the new bookdrop or at the circulation desk as you enter the library.
There is also a new bookdrop and Little Free Library.
The outdoor bookdrop replaced one that had been donated some years ago by the Mount Juliet Library. It was a little worse for wear after being crashed into three times. The Franklin County Library Foundation met the need for a new bookdrop in the fall of 2021. It has two bins: one for media and the other for books.
The Little Free Library was donated by Blue Oak Projects in 2020. Due to installation challenges that we have now overcome, it stands tall and proud and greets visitors. For those not familiar with a little free library, it operates on the premise of take one, leave one. It is a free, shared service. Anyone may borrow without time limit and may also leave items for others to borrow.
The Library is open and accessible with normal hours from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. Masks are encouraged inside the Library. Curbside pickup is also available. Call (931) 967-3706 to make an appointment for pick up.
