This year Give Kids a Smile Day is February 2. What better way to put a smile on a kid's face than a hilarious book. Here is just a sample of the funny books you can find in our system that are sure to put a smile on their face and yours too. You can find even more humorous books for all ages HERE.
Teens, are you looking for your next great read or maybe stuck in a reading rut? If you happen to be in downtown Winchester doing holiday shopping this month stop by the Handley branch and check out our genre booklets. We have booklets for over a dozen genres. You'll find Realistic Fiction, Fantasy, Heroes, Romance, Sci-Fi, and many more.
Howdy y’all! Were you wondering if you missed the Handley Harvest Hoedown this year? No worries, it has moved to a new day and time this year.
Grab your partner and mosey on down to the Handley Branch in downtown Winchester Saturday November 19th at 11:00am.
We will be celebrating the harvest season with a puppet show, interactive stations, take-home kits, and more fun surprises. Hope to see you there! All ages.
Happy National Cocoa Day! The month of December has many special days to celebrate sweet treats. Some have already passed and you’ll need to stick them on your calendar for next year. December 1 was Peppermint Bark Day and December 8 was National Brownie Day. December 12 was National Gingerbread House Day. We are still celebrating at the Handley branch and you can still stop by the Youth Services Department to help us color our gingerbread house.
Now that the school year is well underway I want to remind you of the great resources we have to help. Here is a link to the Homework Help section of our online resources page.
You can use HelpNow by Brainfuse for free online live tutoring, a Writing Lab to get feedback on papers and essays, and study tools such as flash cards and games.
