The  local National Guard detachment of the 1086th Transportation Company will pass by the Main Library sometime around 2:30 p.m. on Thurs. Sept. 8, as they depart for their next deployment overseas.  Anybody who is available is invited to come stand on the steps and show support.

The Main Library will stay open for business, but there may be some service delays.  All branches will stay open as usual.

The Friends of the Library will meet at 6 p.m. at the Main Library to plan for the annual Book Sale and to learn about the plans for the new library.  Everybody is welcome.

The State Bond Commission has given approval for the Police Jury to borrow up to 1.5 million on the Library’s behalf, for construction of the new main library.  This is NOT a grant: The Library will repay the bonds out of proceeds from its tax revenues.

The Library Board of Control thanks bond counsel Sen. Eric Lafleur, the Evangeline Parish Police Jury, and parish engineer Ronnie Landreneau for all their efforts to make this possible.
