January is the month to “Read With Benny” in the 2026 Winter Reading Challenge. Benny the Bean is the mascot for the Beanstack app, and this month he is hoping that lots of readers join him in enjoying what the library has to offer.

A new year is the perfect time to try something new—and your library is ready to help you start strong. Our January–April 2026 Programming Brochure is filled with engaging programs for all ages, from storytimes and creative activities to technology help, book discussions, and lifelong learning opportunities.

The Friends of Handley Regional Library System sponsor live music at our libraries with concerts called A Little Noon Music. From September to May, a variety of musicians delight audience members with their talents. This program has been running for over 40 years at our library and is still going strong!

Our 2026 season! All performances begin at 12pm.
