Weekly Newsletter ~ December 11, 2014

Don’t forget to collect your Coca-Cola product bottle caps for the Heyworth Public Library during this festive season of parties.  They really add up to earn the library prizes for reading programs.  Also look on the cardboard cases for Coca-Cola reward point certificates, too.  Every little bit helps us provide fun and relevant incentives for our youth to read for a lifetime!

A Make It/Take It craft will be offered during December. All the supplies and instructions are provided on a central table in the library.  No reservations or planning around your schedule to come to a class.  During December we are offering the opportunity to make a gift bag from the pages of magazines.  They are a handy way to give gifts this season and an excellent opportunity to recycle your favorite magazines.

Items we collect for our community:

• Coupons for military families overseas
• Gently used Heyworth Hornet Shirts/Sweatshirts and branded athletic gear
• Box Tops for Education coupons/Campbell soup labels/Tyson Chicken product labels
• Coca-Cola product bottle caps and reward coupons off of cases of Coca-Cola products
• HP ink cartridges
