The Stewart Bell Jr. Archives is joining in on the summer reading fun this year! We will have activities available at the Handley Rally for Reading on May 30th, 2026, as well as a summer-long community journal. We'll be set up in the West Reading Room, also known as the Teen Room, during the event. Join us to view microfilm, write a letter, write with a quill pen, and add to our community journal!

Join us Saturday, May 30th at the Handley branch to kick off Summer Reading for summer 2026! The Handley Regional Library System has summer reading for kids, teens, and adults, and our kick-off reflects this all-ages spirit with activities for everyone. 

We're closing off the road in front of the Library and bringing you a street-festival-feel with plenty to outside, including food trucks, entertainment, and crafts - plus local authors to meet in our Writer's Row.
