Our first Randolph Township Cemetery Tour was a success with 39 persons attending and fabulous weather; it made for a memorable day. Much gratitude and thanks go to the Randolph Township Cemetery Board for letting us pursue this venture, The Full Gospel Tabernacle Church for the use of their bus, to Retired Rev. Richard Gray for driving the bus, and to Lona Soice and Charlotte O’Dea for all the research and time they devoted to informing and entertaining us with the incredible history in our own backyard. If you missed this wonderful journey, but would like to read about our adventure, we are selling the brochures for $2.00 to cover our cost of paper. You can also check out our latest addition about the founder of Randolph Township: Gardner Randolph of Illinois by Jacquelyn Hansen. This book is available at the library. Anyone interested in helping preserve our local history can meet at the library May 16, at 10:30 in the Community Room.

Heyworth Public Library is excited to begin a LEGO Time program this summer. LEGO Time will offer youth builders an opportunity to join together, create, and share inspiration. We are asking for the community members to look through their closets and donate LEGOS/Duplos their children have outgrown to help supplement our supplies. You can drop off LEGOS at any time during regular hours. If you would like to make a monetary donation to help purchase new LEGOS or more LEGO reading materials we would welcome your support as well.
Monthly Genealogy and Local History meeting
Wed., May 16 at 10 am. All are welcome to help preserve Randolph Township history. Come join us as we organize the historical records and materials we have collected at the library, access the cemetery tour, and begin an oral history project. If you have local history or genealogical items to donate to the Alexander Room please see Alice or Beth at the library. You can view the current title holdings on our website under the Local History and Genealogy link.
