At its meeting last night, the Police Jury named Nina David, to fill out the  Library Board term of Julia Fontenot, and Faye Langley, to fill out the Library Board term of Rose Marie Johnson.

We welcome both new Board members!

Also, the Board and staff send special best wishes to outgoing members  Julia and Rose Marie.  They have been excellent members of the Board and will be missed. 

We also wish Julia a wonderful life in her new home in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Come brave the rain and join us!  We will have free light refreshments with the meeting, along with a cash bar.  After the meeting you are welcome to stay for dinner (Dutch treat).

Come learn more about the Friends, their Wish List fundraising campaign to help furnish the new library, and more!  Everybody welcome.  Be a friend and bring a friend.

The Evangeline Genealogical and Historical Society will meet Saturday, Jan. 19th, at 9:30 a.m. at the main library.  Everybody is welcome.  Come and learn more about researching family history and about local history.

The Chataignier Branch is still closed, and likely will remain closed at least until Wed., Jan. 16.  We apologize for the delay in reopening. 

Please consider using the Mamou branch (open 8 to 5, Monday through Friday) or one of our other branches until Chataignier reopens following the heavy rains and road floading. 

Currently the Chataignier parking lot is still flooded, and roads near the library still have water issues.
