Santa Left Some Jingle at the Library

Dear Santa…

Thank you for the early gift. Santa left some jingle at the library this past Saturday! New board games will be purchased for our Get Board at the Library Game Cart. We are always looking for gently used board games for the library. Our board games are well used, and games that can be played in an hour or less, with not too many pieces are best. (Please no monopoly games.  Our parents thank you.)

Time to Order Magazines

Heyworth Public Library circulates over 80 magazine titles that may be checked out for seven days. This year we are seeking donations to cover our magazine orders. If we can save money on our magazine orders, we will be able to spend that savings on more children’s materials.

We will have a list of all our magazines that we order for the library with our cost for each title in a folder at the circulation desk. If you would care to donate a title, you can provide the cost of the magazine and be the first to check out the magazine when it arrives. If you do not see a title on our list or in the library that you are interested in, you may donate a title to expand our collection as well.

Thank you to those who donate magazine titles they receive at their homes each month as well. All donations are appreciated.
