Librarian creates place of hope & love for neighborhood

“I went every day, and the librarians helped me with my homework,” Heyward said. “My grandmother couldn’t help me with my homework.”

Now, Heyward is in a position to help others as manager of the East 38th Street branch of The Indianapolis Public Library. During 2016 National Library Week, Heyward was honored as a “Mover and Shaker” by Library Journal.

She was recognized nationally for tapping into her deep familiarity with the neighborhood to organize community partnerships with more than 40 nonprofits, businesses, churches and universities.
