FRANKLIN — Governor Maura Healey came to Franklin Public Library on Monday, August 10, to sign the state's new Freedom to Read Law, the Town of Franklin announced Tuesday morning. The visit put Franklin's library at the center of a statewide bill-signing ceremony.
TOWN HALL Governor Healey traveled to Franklin Public Library on Monday to sign the Freedom to Read Law, according to a News Flash release the Town of Franklin posted Tuesday. The town's announcement confirmed the governor's visit and the signing but did not detail the law's full provisions.
The stop gives Franklin a moment of statewide visibility: a sitting governor chose the town's library as the backdrop for a piece of state legislation, rather than a Boston or State House venue.
