Modified lockdown at the main library until further notice

With the permission of the police department, we are allowing access to the library during Ville Platte’s lockdown–the result of an incident in progress thereby.  If the door is locked and you need to get in, please call 363-1369 and somebody will promptly assist you.  Please use caution getting to the library and be aware that some streets nearby are blocked.  Activity in the immediate vicinity of the library seems normal, but we are keeping the doors locked per police instructions.

If you can postpone your trip for a few hours, that would be best.  We will post an announcement as soon as the lockdown is over.

In the meantime, the 2 p.m. children’s program is in progress, and the program for 6 p.m. tonight is still planned to go on as scheduled.  If that has to be changed, we will post an announcement here and also notify the public through KVPI.

Please call us at 363-1369 if you have any questions about library operations today.  The branches are not affected by the lockdown, only the main library (242 W. Main St., Ville Platte).
