Over the next few months Franklin County Library System will be updating its strategic plan for the next three years (2012-2014). Our mission reflects our desire to bring the best in information and literacy resources, services and programs to you. We want to know what your dreams are and how we can help you reach them. We want to know what you value most in the community. We want to meet your needs as we change and grow through the years.
If you would like to be involved in the planning process, watch our updates here, on Facebook, and on our website to learn how you can shape the future of Franklin County public libraries.
Thank you.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Love your library? Want to get into the Franklin County Fair for free?
Franklin County Library System needs volunteers to work three-hour shifts at "The Chicken House" foodstand during the week of August 22-27. Volunteers must have their own transpotation and be at least 12 years old. The volunteers will be doing customer service at the window (handling money, too), dishing up chicken dinners, soup and potpie, grilled chicken sandwiches, and homemade pie. Some food preparation and cooking under supervision is also needed. You can pick your favorite station for the shift. Available shifts include 10 a.m. -1 p.m., 1 -4 p.m., 4 - 7 p.m., and 7-10 p.m. On busier shifts, we welcome family groups (age 12 and up). There will be experienced volunteers on all shifts, so don't worry about being new. Volunteering a shift will get you free admission to the fair. You could work a shift, then enjoy the rest of the evening's events. If you are not aware, the fair is based at Chambersburg Rod and Gun Club on Warm Spring Road.
This is being done to raise funds for your libraries. Please help if you can.
Contact me directly to sign up ASAP at 709-0282 x212 or bdcrouse@fclspa.org.

Important Notice
Due to the excessive heat, the bookmobile will not be in service today (7/21/2011) or tomorrow (7/22/2011). The generator and airconditioners cannot keep up with the high temperatures and we do not want to endanger any patrons' or staff members' health by inviting the use of this mobile library. The Book Buggy continues to be in service at this time.
Since Excessive Heat Warnings expire over the weekend, we hope the bookmobile will be back on its normal summer schedule on Monday.
Some of our libraries are also struggling to keep down their temperatures. Please bear with the 80 degree days internally when they occur.
Thank you.
