Read Undercover from February 1 through March 31 to be entered in a drawing for an exclusive Heyworth Public Library mug! On Feb. 1 sixth graders – adults can get a Read Undercover game sheet. There are different genres and types of library material listed on the sheet in rows of four. You choose if you want to select books and materials from the game sheet across, up or down, diagonally, or all 4 corners.
