Don’t forget to pick up a copy of Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth to read for our Reel Time/Real Talk programming for this coming April 14^th at 6 pm.  Come join the Heyworth Public Library for fun evenings of books and movies.  Read the book, then come to the library to watch the movie.  After each movie we will discuss which we thought was better.  The book or the movie?  This is an all ages program, and would make a great family activity.
