We have several graphic novels featuring John Lewis, the March trilogy, available at Handley and Bowman Libraries. There is also a signed set in the Stewart Bell Jr. Archives.

Patrons will need to make an appointment to shop with a 1-hour time limit (following the library system’s adjusted public hours) by contacting Barbara Dickinson, Executive Director of the Friends of the Handley Regional Library System, at 540.662.9041 ext.

This month marks the 150th anniversary of the dedication of Winchester’s Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church. Winchester’s original Catholic Church, known as “the old stone church,” was destroyed during the Civil War, leaving Winchester without a Catholic Church building from 1864 until 1870.
John Lewis was an amazing man; one of the key participants in the Civil Rights movement.
We mourn his death and look to his life for inspiration. If you would like to learn more about his life and accomplishments, the Handley Regional Library System has his graphic novels, the March trilogy, available at Handley and Bowman Libraries. There is also a signed set in the Stewart Bell Jr. Archives. He reached a new generation through these graphic novels.

We have a new, LIVE chat service available on our website at www.handleyregional.org. Staffed behind the scenes by actual library personnel, patrons can submit questions online from their mobile device or desktop computer about materials, library services, account information, and more. The chat widget is accessible on the website in the bottom right corner.
We reopened our buildings to the public with limited services and adjusted hours and building occupancy on July 8, 2020. The stats below represent community usage from July 8-11 at all three library locations – Bowman Library, Clarke County Library, and Handley Library.
The results are in and the library was busy - both with curbside pick-up and Digital Library usage - from the community!

Magnolia grandiflora (also known as the Southern Magnolia) is the tree species growing outside of the Bowman Branch of the Handley Regional Library. Its large white flowers, which are blooming right now, have the most delightful aroma. I encourage you anytime you are passing by the library, to stop and smell the magnolia. We are fortunate that our magnolia has branches with blossoms that are low to the ground so we can enjoy this fabulous scent of summer.
