Franklin Public Library

this library is not the oldest lending library in the United States. Redwood Library was chartered in 1747 and built in 1750. Also try the Library Company of Philadelphia (1731)

Franklin's is the first FREE PUBLIC lending library. Redwood Library, while older, was not established as a FREE PUBLIC lending library.

Franktown??

I resided in Franklin for over 2 decades and never heard the town refered to as "Franktown". Anyone have any references that use that term?Cube lurker 19:57, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I beleive that expression is coming into more common usage with the kids, especially vis-a-vis myspace and facebook. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.98.68.86 (talk) 17:42, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

re: "Franktown," My two cents: Ditto the "never heard that" ... That said, some friends and I used to call the town "East [effing] Frankie." Does this make that a nickname of the town? jeez, i should hope not. once "the kids [and] myspace and facebook" get the town's government to declare "Franktown" as an official nickname, then it should be listed. this is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not the urban dictionary. 76.19.198.242 21:58, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Think I'm going to remove it. Doesn't seem like there's that much support for it. --Cube lurker (talk) 14:25, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing about Italian Americans?

I was always told growing up in nearby Norfolk that Franklin had a large Italian American population. Only things I can think of two support this is that the town celebrates the feast of Saint Rocco and that much of the Italian part of my family lives in Franklin. Can anyone dig up any articles about this?
