At the Library for June 7th

To our valued patrons from around the parish, we have just entered Phase 2 of our COVID19 re-opening plan. But, unfortunately, we have had to cancel our usual Summer Reading Program plans around the parish. However, we are still going to make Summer Reading fun for the kids! On June 15^th, with only a 50% capacity opening, we will begin handing out “Welcome Back Goodie Bags” with lots of reading incentives to encourage kids of all ages to continue reading or listening to books or have someone read to them all summer long.  I will share details in my next article after our Manager’s meeting this Wednesday, 6/10/20. Currently we still have two more weeks of no contact, curbside services along with fax and copy services at VILLE PLATTE MAIN, BASILE, MAMOU, & PINE PRAIRIE (still excludes Chataignier & Turkey Creek Branches). We continue trying to meet your needs! The staff truly appreciates the understanding, patience and support that has been shown to us over the last few months! Please continue to get updates via our webpage evangelinelibrary.org and Facebook page and continue to request books and other materials by phone, online or by email at [email protected].

Our end date for Phase 2 is June 15^th and begins our Phase 3 which is only a 50% capacity opening with social distancing still very much in place. Also, there will be no Saturday openings until after July 11^th. We will keep you posted through our webpage, Facebook page, newspaper articles and radio in case things change.  Never forget that libraries do change lives… even through the Cloud! Main library: 337-363-1369.
