Thank you for your patience during yesterday’s high water situation.  Although the library is back to its regular operating hours at all branches, continued rains today and tomorrow may lead to more flooding and possible closures if roads become blocked.  Any early closures, etc. will be announced on KVPI.

The announcement yesterday said “Tuesday” in error, not “Wednesday.”  We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

The main library (Ville Platte) and the Mamou and Basile and Turkey Creek branches will close at 4 pm today due to the flooded roads in Evangeline Parish.  Chataignier Branch, which normally opens at 2, will not open today.  Pine Prairie Branch will close at its regular Tuesday time (3 pm).

We apologize for the inconvenience.

All proceeds from Friends fund raisers go to benefit the library and its programs.  Thank you for your help.

The Friends of the Library will meet Tues. Feb. 7 at 6 p.m. at the main library.  Everybody is welcome.  Please come and bring a friend!

The agenda for the meeting is below:

• Election of officers for 2012
• Sharing of the plans for the new library (preliminary summary)
• Summer reading plans
• Brain storming about fund raisers.
