Thank you so much, Friends of the Library and CenturyLink!

Last night the Friends of the Library presented the library with a check for $15,519.60 toward furnishings for the new library, and CenturyLink presented a check for $1,000 for technology toward the new library.

Library Board President/Ville Platte Mayor Jennifer Vidrine was at the meeting to accept the donations on behalf of the library from Friends representative Paula Lafleur and CenturyLink representative Andrew Dugas.

The Friends check represents the fundraising efforts of the Friends in person and through Indiegogo and Wish List and the recent Paragon Casino prized-raffle.  The Library Board and staff are in awe of the Friends’ efforts, and deeply grateful.

We are also deeply grateful for our partnership with CenturyLink to help enhance technology for patrons at the new building and to provide more training to patrons in the essential new technologies at the main library and branches.
