At the Library for August 8th

A message from your library Director and staff: To keep our patrons safe from any possible exposure to the new COVID variant, the library is having to make the hard decision to close the Main library and two branches: Chataignier and Turkey Creek for one week beginning tomorrow, 8/7/21. The branches in Basile, Mamou and Pine Prairie remain opened with a mandatory mask requirement until further notice.”

In an abundance of caution, the main library and all branches will require mask to be worn when inside of the library for whatever reasons one is at the library.  Please visit our webpage (www.evangelinelibrary.org) and Facebook page often for updates. All programs at the main library and the branches are cancelled until further notice. Please check our webpage or Facebook page often for updates. 
If you can’t visit the library, remember to use our Flipster app for a variety of magazines that can be downloaded and enjoyed on a variety of devices. On our webpage, click on the magazine of your choice from the rotating covers. From the web, go to https://flipster.ebsco.com/who-we-serve/public-libraries and sign in with your library card. Call any library for assistance. 

The following branches are now drop-off points for any EPAR donations that the public or non-profits would like to make: Mamou, Pine Prairie & Turkey Creek. The main library in Ville Platte is the exclusive drop-off point for the Ville Platte Pound. Many, many thanks to the amazing donations that have been made to date to both!

The Friends of the Library Book Sale areas at the main library and all branches are growing! Please take a look at this area the next time you visit your library and pick up some wonderful books and magazines for less than a cup of coffee! We have lots of items that homeschoolers could use! 

Early notice: Our annual Library Fest is slated for Saturday, November 13^th! Please mark your calendar now.  It will be an outdoor event on the grounds of the main library with plenty of new local authors, vendors and surprises!

For more information call the main library @ 337-363-1369 or email [email protected].  Visit our Facebook page for all upcoming events in addition to our webpage www.evangelinelibrary.org and never forget that libraries do change lives…. even in the cloud!
