Two of Franklin County Library's most popular children's programs return this week, although Franklinton's are temporarily paused until their building renovation is complete. Family Storytime is for young children (ages 0-5) and their caregivers, and features stories, songs and rhymes that nurture pre-reading skills. Afternoon Adventures offers S.T.E.A.M. based activities for school age children and explores a different theme each week. See you there!

Our Local History digital archive (which you can access from the library's website under the "Research & Learn" heading) continues to expand, and its most recent addition is literally one-of-a-kind: "A History of the Town of Bunn", written by Margaret W. Holmes with research by Leslie G. Cook, was compiled in 1992 and never officially published. The sole physical copy of this ambitious piece of local scholarship--a true labor of love--was previoulsy only available as a non-circulating Reference book at the Bunn Library, but it can now be accessed by anyone, anywhere, at anytime, from the Franklin County Library's website, along with many other local history gems: https://fcnclibrary.libguides.com/c.php?g=1412433&p=10462117
