Kids Place

From time to time, the Handley Regional Library System creates special giving opportunities that allow our community to support the library in meaningful ways. These gifts help strengthen our services, collections, programs, and spaces—ensuring we continue to grow and serve everyone who walks through our doors.

Today, we are honored to introduce one of those opportunities:

The Donna Hughes Legacy Fund

After 36 extraordinary years of service, our beloved Youth Services Director, Donna Hughes, is retiring.

If you’ve been to the children’s section of your library before, you may have heard of our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program. This is a year-round reading program that encourages caregivers to spend quality time with their littles and read together. Reading to young children is the best way to prepare them for kindergarten, and this program just gives you and your little an extra incentive to keep going.
