At the Library

As our parish moves into a more normal state of operations, we would like to hear from our patrons about the services we offered in the past, the services you would like us to offer in the future, or any areas we can improve in. On your next visit to your branch, please pick up a survey, fill it out, and return it. This is an anonymous survey and serves as your opportunity to let us know how we are doing and how we can best serve your needs as 2021 unfolds.
Kuddos to staff member Tina Davis who is doing a super job keeping patrons up to date on what’s going on at the main library and all branches with daily posts on our Facebook Page (Evangeline Parish Library). This month, she not only promoted our regular online story hours with staff members Keshia and Kelsey, but she also highlighted special events such as March being National Literacy Month, events at our main and branch libraries for all ages ranging from storytelling to crafting, promotions such as “World Storytelling Day” and ”Write your Story Day,” Mystery Book Club info, program information, board agendas, closure notices and just so much more! Please take a look and share it with friends and family!
