At the Library for July 30, 2023

Summer reading has come to a close and we can brag on the attendance at our programs and the huge number of books that were checked out! I’ll share stats next week and also congratulate our TOP READERS from around the parish! Thanks, one last time, to our local sponsors: ARDOIN FUNERAL HOMES, BASILE STATE BANK, BON AIMEE’ INSURANCE, R.E. & APPRAISAL SERVICES, EDWARD JONES, PETER STAWARTZ, EVANGELINE BANK & TRUST, JD BANK, VILLE PLATTE, LAKEVIEW RV PARK & RESORT, PAUL’S MEAT MARKET, REPRESENTATIVE RHONDA BUTLER, DIST.  38, SOUTHERN UROLOGY – DR. MARCEL LAHAYE, VIDRINE COMMUNITY CENTER- DR. NICK LAHAYE, VIDRINE ACE HARDWARE! 

We will be looking for a new artist or two for our August “Artist of the Month”! This is our way of promoting our local artists! If you or someone you know would like to get their art displayed, please contact Suzy Lemoine @  [email protected] or call the main library at 337-363-1369.  This week will be the last time to come by the main libraryto see the unique art created by kids with the EAC and the unusual works by Phil Miller using reclaimed wood that is indigenous to our area like Cedar, Chinese Tallow (Chicken Trees), China ball, and Eucalyptus. He really excels in reclaiming wood affected by Carpenter Bees! See samples of his coasters & photos of his custom photo frames on display at the main library in Ville Platte.
