Weekly Newsletter ~ Thursday, September 26, 2013
Did you know that your local library has over 82 titles of magazines available for 7 day check out? Did you also know that if you don’t see the month’s edition or volume you are looking for, the material can be placed on a waiting list? We also have over 800 large print books available, and if we don’t have the title you are looking for, we can request interlibrary loans from around the state to find it. If you have any questions about how to use our services or how we can look for material for you, just ask a librarian at the front desk. We truly are larger than our walls! Stop by for a visit, or go to our website at www.heyworthlibrary.com and see for yourself all that we offer.

All ages are welcome to join us in exploring this hobby. Please sign up so we have enough handouts for all participants.
