At the Library for July 31st

Keep an eye out for our Summer Reading Wrap Up in the August edition of the Bonnes Nouvelles. It will highlight our top readers, performers, sponsors and the incredible number of books that were checked out this summer! Also, for the kids who visit the Ville Platte Main library during the month of August, we still have a few surprises! While supplies last, kids will be able to Adopt-A-Play Pet when they check out 10 books (one pet per kid)! Please share this good news.

Regular weekly programs continue at the main library and all branches but there are too many to list here. Please visit the Facebook page of the library you use to find out what’s going on!

We are promoting a new challenge for middle and high school students on behalf of Congressman Mike Johnson! The Congressional App Challenge is a public effort to encourage students to learn how to code, through annual districtwide competitions hosted by Members of Congress for their district. Starting Wednesday, June 15, 2022, you can register at CongressionalAppChallenge.us. The Challenge will run until November 1, 2022. Do you want to create a game? Do you want to create an app to solve a problem? There is no limit to what you can create for the Congressional App Challenge. Drop by the main library or any branch to pick up a flyer or visit the main library Facebook page for details.
