On Monday, June 1st, the Franklin Township Public Library introduced a new online program calendar and room reservation system. The new system makes it easier to access extended information about upcoming library programs and allows residents to sign up for events 24 hours a day. Community organizations and non-profit groups can review available dates and times before submitting an online request to use one of the Library’s meeting spaces.

To view the full calendar, click on “Find Library Events” on the left-hand side of this page, or click on “Click here to see the full calendar!” on the right-hand side of this page (under “Events at the Library”). The calendar lists meetings of outside groups, library programs requiring registration, and library programs that do not require registration. Click on the image of the hand holding a pencil to complete a required sign-up, or click on the “sign-up” button at the bottom of the pop-up describing the program in detail. If you submit an email address with your sign-up, you will receive an email reminding you of the event a few days before it is scheduled to take place.

As always, all community groups and non-profits interested in using the library’s spaces for meetings must submit a signed paper copy of the meeting room use application. Click on “Request a Room” to find the Library’s Meeting room Use Policy, the application form, and the link to make your room request. If your organization already has an approved application dated within the last 12 months on file, follow the same links to make your room request. From there, you will be able to request specific rooms, dates and times to use for a group meeting. Please note: dates are not confirmed until the group representative receives an email from the library confirming the requested date, time and location.
