Weekly Newsletter ~ December 4, 2013
Do you enjoy the art of knitting? Have you ever wanted to share your knitting talent? Your Heyworth Library is in need of knitting mentors for this coming spring. We would like to offer children and teen knitting classes through a national program, the Needle Arts Mentoring Program. We are in need of 5 or more mentors to help teach our youth in a more hands on environment. If you know of a knitter, please pass this information on. We will provide training, all supplies, and lead the class as a group. The mentors provide the “hands” on training, one on one.
Please talk to Beth Porter if you are interested in pursuing this in the spring of 2014. The Needle Arts Mentoring Program provides all the supplies for a program to be started.
Become a book giver with World Book Night and your Heyworth Public Library. The online giver application process is open for those wishing to become a volunteer book giver next spring and continues through January 5, 2014. Applicants must state where and to whom they intend to give out their 20 WBN special paperbacks. Please consider becoming a giver and select the Heyworth Public Library as your pick up location. Book descriptions, guidelines, and the online application are at www.us.worldbooknight.org
