And the big news is that the library will indeed host its annual BOOKFEST after all on Saturday, November 7, 2020 at 10 am on the grounds of the main library! I will be reaching out to authors, vendors, and entertainers to make this event an opportunity for our parish patrons to share their talents! Details will follow in the next few At the Library articles. Please share this news with any crafters, cooks, and clubs that would like to participate. We have a form to be filled out so we can plan accordingly.  Social distancing and mask wearing will be included in the planning.

With school children either returning to their classrooms or taking classes online from home, we’d like to encourage parents to visit our website link for tutoring assistance through Homework Louisiana. The benefits of this FREE resource are incredible. The link is located at the bottom of our webpage, www.evangelinelibrary.org.  If you need a direct link then go to http://homeworkla.org.

The staff genuinely appreciates the never-ending understanding, patience and support it continues to receive from all patrons!
