The right way is to adjust it at the rear drum. Remove the rear drum and you'll see a little wheel with teeth on it in the middle of everything. Give it a few clicks to tighten things up.

Oh, we're too tight. Didn't see that. 
Well either way, too tight at the handle usually means too tight at the shoes in the rear. I would see how tight it is back there, dragging shoes on the drums is never good.

Yeah, there are actually 2 problems.
Anyways if you can pull the parking brake all the way up then more then likely your rear brakes need to be changed.
But if its to tight, either someone tighten the parking brake to much or the rear pads are infact dragging.
