Libraries Busy During Recession

In 2008, the public libraries in Franklin County circulated almost 45,000 more items to patrons than they did in 2007. Wow! We have always heard that people flock to public libraries when times are tough, but now our own statistics prove it.

There have been some great local and national news items about how busy the libraries are today, CNN Headline News, local Channel 27, the Record Herald, and Herald Mail to name a few.
