Happy New Year to all!

The library Board of Control and the staff send warm wishes to our patrons from all around the parish for a safe, healthy and memorable New Year’s Celebration!  We welcome 2023 with lots of plans already in the works! The main library and all branches will be closed on Monday, 1/2/202, to ring in the New Year! Normal schedules resume on Tuesday, January 3, 2023.  

The library Board of Control will meet on Monday, January 9, 2023 for their first meeting of the New Year at noon in the multipurpose room of the main library in Ville Platte. The public is invited to attend.

A brand new FREE service for our compute-challenged patrons will begin on Monday, January 9, 2023 with Tobin Deville, a Microsoft Certified Instructor. The tutoring will focus on software, settings, Windows operating systems, cleaning up computers, uninstalling bad applications, or speeding up browsers on the device or devices you bring in (laptop, Smart Phones, EReader tablets, etc). If you need this type of assistance make an appointment at any of the following locations: Chataignier branch library @ 9 – 10 am; Basile branch library @10:30 -11:30 am; Mamou branch library @ 12 – 1:00 pm; Pine Prairie branch library @ 1:30 – 2:30 pm; Turkey Creek branch library @ 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm.; and Ville Platte main library @ 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm. Call your library of choice to book your appointment today!  Walk-ins are welcome based on availability. We plan on providing this service one day a month at all of the libraries around the parish. January is our trial month so please get the word out. 

You can always call the main library @ 337-363-1369 or send an email to [email protected] for more information.  Visit our main library and branch library Facebook pages or www.evangelinelibrary.org for all of the weekly, monthly and upcoming events and never forget that libraries do change lives…. even in the cloud!
