The Friends of the Library will meet Tues. Aug. 14th at 6 pm at the main library.  Everybody is welcome.  The Friends will celebrate the groundbreaking and learn about current Friends projects.   Please come and bring a friend!

The Main Library and branch libraries will be closed Tues. morning, Aug. 14th, due to the ground breaking ceremony for the future building.  The current library will reopen at 12 noon.

Basile, Mamou, and Turkey Creek branch libraries will open at 1.  Pine Prairie branch will be closed at least part of the morning and possibly all morning on Tuesday.  Chataignier will open at its regular time in the afternoon.

You will see us coming in and out of the current main library building, moving chairs, etc. to the ground breaking site.  Please be aware that although staff will be in the building, it is CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC until noon.  Thank you for your understanding.  We hope to see you at the ground breaking ceremony at 10 am.

We’ve scheduled the groundbreaking ceremony for the new main library!  It is Tuesday, Aug. 14, at 10 am.  The site in Ville Platte is the old hospital property on W. Main St., across from Citizens Bank and Mikey’s Donuts.

Everybody is very welcome.  If for any reason the ceremony has to be rescheduled, we will announce the change as soon as possible.

Thank you to everybody who has made this project a reality instead of a dream!
