ABC Saturday! at Handley Library

Celebrate Our NEW Family Place Library Accreditation + the Official Launch of the Winchester ABCs! 🎉
Winchester, get ready! This is not your average library day. We’re throwing a full‑blown, fun-packed, hands-on celebration to mark a major milestone: we are now officially a Family Place Library! 🎈

And to make it even better? We’re launching the Winchester ABCs - a community-powered alphabet of everything kids love (and discovered!) about our hometown. Think A for Apple Blossom, B for Bonnie Blue, C for… well, you’ll just have to come see what the kids decided. 😉

Bring the whole family for an afternoon of playful learning, creative exploration, and alphabet adventures, featuring special guests and hands-on activities from:

-Winchester Campaign for Grade Level Reading / Leyendo Juntos
-Master Gardeners of the Northern Shenandoah Valley
-Virginia Department of Forestry
-Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum
-Face Painting by Rachel ✨

Whether your child wants to touch, build, plant, paint, giggle, explore, or just soak up something new — there’s a letter (or twenty-six) waiting to spark their curiosity.
Family Place Libraries are all about early learning, community connection, and supporting families from day one.
Launching the Winchester ABCs alongside this accreditation is our way of saying:
This library is your place to grow, discover, and thrive.
