Handley Regional Library In August 1913 The Handley Library opened its doors and began to serve local residents. In a century of service, the library has evolved and grown and been transformed into a present-day regional community resource.
This full color volume tells the story of those 100 years. There are over 375 photographs of all the libraries in the system--Clarke County, Bowman, and Handley. Recollections of area residents and former staff members and old newspaper accounts reveal some behind-the-scenes stories. |
