The Library provides collections of books on particular topics and for specific reading or age levels to teachers, parents, and group leaders.
Materials will be checked out on the library card of the individual placing the request. Patrons must have a valid library card and be in good standing according to the FSPL Circulation and Patron Behavior Policy before a book collection will be gathered.
The library has Book Clubs Kits that can be checked out for four-week lending periods. They are housed at Franklin and can be requested by asking a staff member to reserve a kit. The number of copies vary per title.
