This library is one of the loveliest and most charming in the country. In Beaux Arts style, its two wings flare from the central dome to resemble an upright open book. The staff is friendly and the offerings are well-arranged and ample. Architects and bookworms will be enthralled.

The Handley is a wonderful early 20th century library and a perfect example of what a library should be. It is beautiful and classy both inside and out, but has modern amenities and programs to make it relevant today. As a history buff, I’m particularly interested in their archives downstairs with a vasty collection of materials about Winchester, Frederick County and the Valley. My hometown had a library like this and they closed it down to build a new(ugly) «modern» one with no soul. The Handley Library has soul and then some.

Awesome place to spend a Saturday morning. Knowledgeable staff; kid friendly reading section, and the building is a pleasure to walk around. If you love to read put down your kindle and go pick up an authentic read… and its FREE!

Review for architecture alone: AMAZING!(Photos on Unilocal currently do not do it justice) Worth checking out if you’re in the area, even if you’re not going to check out books
