Calling all book lovers!

The annual Friends of the Franklin County Public Libraries will be holding their two annual book sales in just a few months, and we’re starting to collect donations now! If you have gently used books—especially current fiction, nonfiction, and children’s books—we’d love to give them a new home. Donations help support library programs, events, and community learning all year long.

📦 Drop off your books in good condition at either the Eastpoint or Carrabelle branches during regular library hours.

Every book you give helps strengthen our libraries—thank you for your support! ❤️
