Franklin Public Library

📚👓🛋️💳👩🏼‍🏫 Bright, cozy, lovely little place. Significant collection with access to an extensive library network. Set in a park. Child friendly.

A wonderful, adorable, tiny library! It looks like it doesn't have much material, but WRONG: it's part of a network of 50 libraries in Southeast Michigan, plus the MelCat system with access to material from all the Michigan libraries, which means we can get EVERYTHING we want. And it might look a bit cold to some with its almond green walls, but believe me, it's a very warm library. I wouldn't swap for any other one!

Franklin Library is my FAVORITE library in Michigan! It's so cosy by the fireplace (yes, you can sit by the fire in leather armchairs and read the afternoon away, if you'd like!), and they can order books from the vast network of libraries, making its quaint size rather large when considering books to read!

A real hidden gem. Very tiny library with a small selection of books. Feels like a home library- the coziest place in the winter to sit by a fireplace and read, or to sit outside by the fountain in the summer.

We love the Franklin library, it’s a big part of what gives the area its quaint small town feel. The size is not an issue since you can have books from area libraries delivered or you have reciprocal borrowing privileges at Bloomfield or Birmingham. I enjoy the children’s programming, knowledgeable staff, and atmosphere in the library.
