The Library Board of Control will hold its regular meeting this Tues. March 24th at 4 pm at the MAMOU BRANCH LIBRARY.  This is the first time, to our knowledge, that the Board has held a meeting outside of Ville Platte.  Everybody is invited, and public comments are encouraged.  An agenda will be posted at the main library and branches.  For more information, please call Mary at (337) 831-4281.

Due to a mandatory staff meeting at the police jury office, branch libraries may be closed part of the afternoon on Monday March 16th.  We regret any inconvenience.

The main library and all branches will be closed Monday Feb. 23rd and Tues. Feb. 24th due to weather.

IRS tax forms 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ are now available at all library branches.  However, instruction booklets and other forms must be either printed out from the online site or else ordered by mail.  The library has added a button to our website for quick access to the IRS site where you may request forms by mail or request them by phone.  The IRS is NOT supplying these to libraries, only to individuals and businesses.  We have listings at each library location of the most popular federal tax forms and schedules (schedules being forms you use to get deductions or report special kinds of income), as well as a listing of IRS information publications.

The library has not yet received tax forms but expects federal ones to arrive soon.  The IRS is NOT sending instruction booklets for distribution.  Each location has one copy of the instruction booklets for the 1040A, 1040EZ, and 1040.  The IRS has a webpage link to allow individuals to order copies and have them sent to their homes.  The link is posted on the library’s webpage, and library staff will be glad to help patrons place orders for their home use.
