In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, Citizen 56 and Great Wide Open Press are honoring Benjamin Franklin’s enduring spirit of compassion, open-mindedness, and joy in discovery. To mark this historic milestone, we are giving away Ben Franklin’s Autobiography and a curated collection of his essential writings, featuring a foreword by Bill Haney. These works are thoughtfully republished to bring Franklin’s timeless wisdom out of the archives and into the hands of today’s readers, inviting us all to learn from the past as we shape a brighter, ever-improving future.
We are offering the two-volume set for free to public libraries, schools and universities in the United States.
