Franklin Public Library VITA: Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
It's tax season and volunteers at Franklin Public Library are here to help! If you made $67k or less as a household in 2025, have a disability, or limited English, our volunteers are prepared to work with you to file your federal and state taxes for free. Learn more about the VITA program and what documents you need at www.irs.gov/individuals/irs-tax-volunteers or email site coordinator Mitzi Gousie at mgousie@minlib.net
ESOL Tutoring Program
Franklin Public Library's English for Speakers of Other Languages Program is looking for new volunteer tutors. You do not need teaching experience to volunteer, you just need to speak English clearly and be committed to helping a neighbor improve their English skills! If that sounds like you, please fill out the volunteer form on the ESOL page of the library's website.
