On Wednesday, December 11, 2024, the Friends of the Franklin County Public Libraries will be hosting its Annual Meeting at 5 pm at the Carrabelle Branch Library. Members are encouraged to attend and the public is welcome.
There will be a special presentation to Sarah Marxsen, who was instrumental to the start of the library in Carrabelle. We will also share highlights of the year. Refreshments will also be served.
The Friends of the Franklin County Public Libraries (FFCPL) is a 501(c)(3) organization that was established in 1994. The organization was instrumental in the building of two county libraries. With funds donated to the Friends, the current Carrabelle library building was opened in 2002. In addition, through donations, grants, and a USDA loan, the current Eastpoint building and administrative offices were opened in 2013. The Friends provides funding for the Summer Reading Program as well as other programs throughout the year.
The Friends sponsors two soup, bread, and book sales each year with in-kind donations of food and labor from Friends’ members and others in the community. In addition, various other donations from individuals and groups are received each year. The community and those who benefit from library services are encouraged to buy a membership and help support the Franklin County libraries.
