Back to School, and Back to the Library!
Are you ready for back to school? Get your children one of the most useful back to school supplies – a library card. It is a great way to start the school year with books and eBooks at their fingertips. We also offer free Wi-Fi. Children can also use our computers for homework, with parental permission, when they are eleven (11) years old and up. Library cards are not just for kids! If you live in the Heyworth Public Library District, stop in and get your free library card today. Unlock your passion for books, audiobooks, movies, cake pans, music, and so much more. We are so much larger than our walls!
Fall in with our Adult Book Club
September 7th we will kick off a new adult book club. The club will meet at the library at 6:30 p.m. No library card necessary, but it is handy to reserve your book, audiobook, or eBook with a library card. Book titles will be revealed in August. Everyone is invited to attend. Sign up is encouraged so we know who is interested. If this time and day do not work – PLEASE let us know that you are interested and what day and time would work.
Memorials and Donations
A gift of a memorial or donation is a meaningful way to celebrate life or an occasion. Gifts to the Heyworth Public Library District support programs, collections, and services.
