Weekly Newsletter ~ March 11, 2015

Winter Read 2015 continues through March. For every book, audiobook, or magazine checked out in March a ticket will be given for a drawing of prizes. Stop in to view all our prizes. Thank you to Dower Auto Sales and Heyworth IGA for their generous donations this winter. Drawing will take place on April 1^st, no fooling!

Our Blind Date with a Book event has come to another successful end, matching readers with new authors, genres, and titles that they may not ever have read before. We had 39 Blind Dates checked out last month. If you are still reading your “Blind Date” you have until Saturday, March 21 to get your Rate Your Date Book mark in for our drawing of two Heyworth Library tote bags.

Congratulations to our Dr. Seuss book winners for February: Evan Cook, Zach Pickett, Mary Ann Swaim, Alyssa Ensley, and Cris Stanek. We had 74 entries! A huge thank you goes to our local Heyworth General Federated Woman’s Club. Each February this local organization donates books to the library for a drawing to honor Dr. Seuss and stimulate the love of reading in our community.

Don’t forget to checkout our Book Sale area. We are brimming with great reads, music, audiobooks, Disney VHS, and other DVD movies. All for great prices that help support the library in purchasing the extras not in our budget.
