Big Wheels Roll back to the Franklin Library on Sept. 21

Join us for a fun event to mark Library Card Signup Month

Going Places with the Library!

Please join us for the second annual Big Wheels at the Franklin Community Library on Saturday, September 21st from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We will have over two dozen vehicles of all shapes and sizes for kids of all ages.

Last year’s event drew people from all over Sacramento County to the Library’s spacious 60,000-square-foot parking lot for a day of festivities. In fact, it was so successful we are doing it again.

Come talk to the drivers and learn more about what they do. This year there will be race cars, tractors, construction vehicles, a city bus, garbage truck, vintage vehicles, an armored car, a fire truck, a Coast Guard robot, and a Radio Flyer art car.  There will be vehicles from the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department, the Elk Grove Police Department, the California Highway Patrol and the Cosumnes Services District.

Also joining Big Wheels for the first time will be an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile – an American classic that has been amusing people for decades.

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month, a time when the American Library Association and libraries nationwide remind parents and student about “the most important school supply of all – a free library card.”

Come get a free library card and enjoy great food and entertainment. We’ll have storytimes for the kids at 10:30, 11:30 and 12:30. There will be drawings for prizes generously donated by Elk Grove businesses.

Free admission and free parking in the Franklin High School student parking lot (entrance on Whitelock Parkway).
