At the Library

The state mandate of requiring mask wearing and social distancing in public facilities will remain in force until further notice. Please understand these measures are for the safety of all. Additionally, all public programs at the main library and all branches are cancelled for the month of January 2022.
In order to keep our kids and teens engaged, our Brilliant Butterflies and Books and Beyond Teen Club facilitators will have cool “Take and Make” crafts available. And, our Facebook “Story Hour” will continue every second and fourth Thursday at 8 p.m. Please share this special story hour with your little ones!
On a fun note, the main library just received its first interactive game table for all ages! The Infinity Game Table modernizes gameplay, taking play to the next level. A massive, ever expanding library of games and activities like Connect Four, Dominos, Dots and Boxes, Scrabble, Checkers, Chutes and Ladders, Chess, Guess Who?, and coloring and design programs to name a few are included! Also, music accompanies each game to make it even more fabulous! Please visit and experience the fun of 21st century, interactive table top gameing! We will be setting up one in Pine Prairie too!
