TEENtober

TeenTober is a nationwide celebration hosted by libraries every October. It aims to celebrate teens and promote year-round teen services and literacies. Handley Regional Library System uses the celebration to highlight the innovative ways we engage teens to learn new skills and fuel their passions in and out of the library.

This year, middle and high school students are encouraged to attend library programs, help promote books and share their reading interests. Each activity allows for an entry to be placed in a drawing for baskets of prizes that include books and movies, food coupons, and store coupons.

-Attend a movie night on select Mondays at 6pm
