The Friends of the Franklin Public Library will be hosting their annual Quilt-a-Thon fundraising event on from noon to 5 p.m. Sept. 16 and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 17 at the library. And volunteers are needed to complete the projects during those times.

| Volunteers will work on two projects. Cheryl Butler, of The Flying Needles group that meets at the Franklin First United Methodist Church on Liberty Street, has pieced together a Matilda quilt top. The 58×64 inch quilt shows the children’s character Matilda sitting upon a stack of books wondering what to read next. The other quilt top is a 36×48 inch wall hanging, a small version of Jinny Beyer's creation, called Tessellating Tabbies. A light lunch will be provided to volunteer quilters on Saturday, September 17. There is no experience necessary to come and participate and walk-in volunteers are welcome. |  |
Volunteers can also get sponsors in advance by contacting the circulation desk at 814-432-5062. Sponsors can contribute $5 for a chance to win one of the quilts or $20 for five chances. The winning sponsors will be decided by a drawing on October 10.
There will also be a mini consignment shop with other items made by the quilters. Ten percent of the proceeds will go to the Franklin Public Library.
