The Ville Platte Gazette’s Thurs. June 30th edition reported on the new main library project on the front page.  KLFY 10 learned about the project and sent a crew to do a brief story on the project.  The story ran in Thursday’s 5 p.m. broadcast, and the video is available online at the KLFY website.  The Ville Platte Gazette story is available at the newspaper’s “Evangeline Today” website.  The library appreciates both stories.

The Evangeline Parish Library system will be CLOSED Sat. July 2nd through Monday July 4th.  We wish everybody a happy and safe 4th of July holiday.
