Libraries Transform It’s an exciting year to live in the state of Indiana as we celebrate our 200th birthday! You can celebrate Indiana’s Bicentennial at Johnson County Public Library. Learn about Indiana at our programs and join us for the Bicentennial Celebration! JCPL kicked off this year with Winter Reading in February. This year’s theme was “Incredible Indiana” and featured lots of Hoosier related programs. Several of our craft night programs had an Indiana theme. In June, the Franklin Community Band hosted a special BicenTUNEial concert on the lawn at the Franklin Branch and in July, the Franklin Branch hosted a very special storytelling event. Professional storyteller, Sally Perkins, told a story about the life of John Dillinger. Flip to the Local Connections page in this guide to see our upcoming Bicentennial programs. Hear from a published author, find a volunteer opportunity or learn about Indiana history. We are also celebrating Indiana’s birthday by participating in Johnson County’s Bicentennial Celebration on Friday, Sept. 23. The libraries of Johnson County will be providing activities for the whole family. Downtown Franklin is one of the stops along the Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay trail. The flame will be carried by selected torchbearers and will travel throughout all 92 Indiana counties! Visit pageafterpage.org to discover everything we have in store for Indiana’s Bicentennial year. Happy Birthday, Indiana!

Library cardholders from the Johnson County Public Library, the Greenwood Public Library and the Edinburgh Wright-Hageman Public Library will be receiving some wonderful benefits for displaying their library card at several Johnson County businesses during the month of September. See inside for more details. Among the benefits you’ll receive from showing your card at your favorite neighborhood business, your Johnson County Public Library card has benefits that you can celebrate all year long: • • • • •

StoryWalk Celebration StoryWalk Grand Opening Celebration

All Ages Date to be Announced Independence Park on 2100 S. Morgantown Road, Greenwood Visit pageafterpage.org for announcements of our Grand Opening Celebration. Johnson County Public Library and Johnson County Parks and Recreation are partnering to install a new StoryWalk at Independence Park, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Greenwood/White River.

Visit Franklin’s StoryWalk Take a stroll on over to Franklin’s Urban Forest and you’ll see some neat new signs along the path. Take a closer look and you’ll see these signs hold the pages of a story. Johnson County Public Library and Franklin Parks and Recreation celebrated Franklin’s first StoryWalk with a great big grand opening this summer. Families read the first book “Duck on a Bike” by David Shannon. Other activities included a petting zoo, a farm craft, bounce houses, sitting inside a fire truck or police car and, of course, learning about the library. Visit the Franklin StoryWalk this fall with your family and friends! Enjoy your stroll as you read the next book “Number One Sam” by Greg Pizzoli, August-September and “Creepy Carrots” by Aaron Reynolds, OctoberNovember. Want to explore more walking paths? Check out the new walking path around the prairie at the Trafalgar Branch. And, be on the lookout for another StoryWalk coming to Independence Park in Greenwood! The Franklin StoryWalk is brought to you by: Johnson County Public Library, Franklin Parks & Recreation and The Glick Fund, a fund of Central Indiana Community Foundation. Through the Indiana Authors Award, The Glick Fund, a fund of Central Indiana Community Foundation, is proud to support libraries and authors from across Indiana. In 2011, Micah Ling won the Eugene & Marilyn Indiana Authors Award for Emerging Author. Grant money awarded from this honor funds Franklin’s StoryWalk. The Urban Forest is located just a few blocks from the Franklin Branch on South Street in Franklin.

The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg Hubbard Library. StoryWalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.
