At the Library for August 6, 2023

Keep an eye out for our special Summer Reading Wrap Up in the Bonnes Nouvelles this month. We have so many marvelous “Top Readers” around the parish to brag about!

This Tuesday, August 8^th,  you will have one last opportunity to meet with our Computer Tutor, Tobin Deville, to get FREE help with any computer or  EBook reader. He will be in Ville Platte @ 9 am; Turkey Creek branch @ 10:30 am; Pine Prairie branch @ 12 noon; Mamou branch @ 1:30 pm; Basile branch @ 3 pm; and Chataignier branch @ 4:30 pm. You can call the branch to set an appointment or chance a walk-in. Please share this valuable, free resource.

August is FINE FREE month at the main library and all branches. Return any item in good condition and have all fines waived.   We will also take 50% off existing fines and charges for lost/damaged items if the balance is paid in full during this period. This is your library’s way of saying “Thank you” for your support year round. Also, for a limited period, you can visit the main library to “fill up a bag of Friends of the Library books” for one dollar! Please share.

In these very challenging times, we’d like to remind the public of the opportunity to leave a memory behind in our “Memory Card Catalog” at the main library in Ville Platte. It is a simple way to be remembered by your family and library patrons forevermore. We are also collecting old library cards. The “Memory” forms are available now.

Visit the Facebook page of your favorite library branch to see information about programs unique to them. Also, visit our website www.evangelinelibrary.org for updates. You can always call the main library @ 337-363-1369 or send an email to [email protected] for more information and never forget that libraries do change lives…. even in the cloud! Suzy Lemoine, Outreach Coordinator.
