Friends of the Franklin Library, Inc. has been awarded a loan of $177,859 and a grant of $200,000 to construct a 5,000 sq. ft. building. The project is funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act).
On September 24 U.S. Agriculture Secretary Vilsack announced awards in 30 states to benefit 129 rural communities. These projects will create jobs by building and enhancing libraries. The Franklin project is the only one awarded to a Florida library.
