Paws to Read and Finish Strong!
With over 130 children signed up for summer reading it is our hope that many finish their reading goals and collect the summer reading prizes donated by our wonderful summer reading sponsors! Calling all kids to get your summer reading on and turn in your reading logs and bingo sheets by July 26th. Our last two weeks of children’s/teens summer reading programs begin next week. Flyers are available in the library with program descriptions. All summer reading information is on the library website at heyworthlibrary.com or join our Facebook page for updates. Most programing requires a sign up to help us plan supplies and resources.
