Plans are being made for the formation of a "Friends of the Library" group to support the Opelousas - Eunice Library System. St. Landry Parish has the claim to being the only parish in the entire state of Louisiana which does not have a parish-wide supported public library system, and as such does not qualify for additional state library funds.

The first planning meeting for the "Friends of the Library" will be held on September 16, 2008 at 5:30 p.m. at the Opelousas-St. Landry Chamber of Commerce building on 109 West Vine St., in Opelousas.

All persons interested in helping to promote the library and work for its' betterment are cordially invited to attend this meeting. The formation of a "Friends of the Library" in the near future will help to promote better library funding for ALL users of the library and expand the present services to meet the interests of children, teens, parents, our Golden Oldie Seniors and all other interests of the varied population. The information gained at this meeting will guide us in the formation of the Library support organization.

 

Ron Thibodeaux recently won first place in the "series" category of the New Orleans Press Club's annual journalism contest for the coverage of the Congres Mondial Acadien in Nova Scotia last summer.  Members who attend our meetings regulary will remember that he presented his wonderful program about his trip to the Thibodeaux Farm in Acadie.
