Classic Movie Matinee
Join us Thursday, Jan. 2 at 1pm for a showing of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

From 1969, this beloved western follows the exploits of two affable real-life outlaws trying to make a living at the turn-of-the-20th century, but discovering that banks and railroads are getting harder to rob, especially with a relentless superposse closing in on them. Nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, it stars Paul Newman and Robert Redford.

Starring Blake Lively. Based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Colleen Hoover.

Did you know??
The share of City taxes that the Franklin Public Library received in 2024 is 6.15%. This translates to 24.9 cents per $1,000 in assessed value. For example, the average Franklin home assessed at $400,000 would pay $99.60 per year for the Library.

$100 per year gives our community access to all that FPL has to offer - books, movies, audiobooks, computer access, Explorer Passes, our Tool Library, CreateSpace, library programming for all ages, and so much more! FPL is the best value in the city. If you love FPL and what it has to offer, and want FPL to continue to be able to serve our community, please give a shout out of support to your alderperson today!
