šŸ“š WE NEED YOUR HELP, COMMUNITY! šŸ“š

Last Updated 4/28/2026


Franklin REC is working to bring more books—and more opportunities to read—into our local communities, but we can’t do it without you.

We’re building 5 new community book houses in Alden, Downs, Hansell, Popejoy, and Sheffield, and restocking 8 existing houses in Ackley, Geneva, Hampton, Beeds Lake State Park, Latimer, and Rockwell.

Now is the time to clean out your bookshelves.

We are collecting:
• Children’s books
• Adult books
• Educational materials
• Fiction and non-fiction
• Cookbooks and more

Drop-off locations:
Franklin REC
Center One
First Bank Hampton
First Security Bank & Trust
Franklin Co Extension
Chairish Life
Block10

Donations will be accepted through the end of May.

Please share this post and help us spread the word. Every book donated helps strengthen our communities—one book at a time.
