This September, Handley Regional Library System, the American Library Association, and libraries around the nation will be celebrating Library Card Sign-up Month. Since 1987, Library Card Sign-Up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year and to encourage every child to sign up for a library card.
The Handley Regional Library System is thrilled to announce that effective immediately overdue fines will not accrue on most children’s materials – no matter the age of the person checking out the materials. These items include books, CD audiobooks, and DVDs.
Our Middle Grade book spotlight this week is focused on books that are linked together by being superhero inspired! We have a great selection of fiction and graphic novel titles which include superhero characters and themes; some are one that you may know from the Marvel or DC Universes while others are completely original to that author and story. Hopefully these will help inspire you to explore if you have superpowers and how would you use them if you could.

If you are looking for something to read for the Adult Summer Reading Program, why not try a paperback classic? What makes a work of literature a classic?
