Lafourche Parish Library

This is my local library, well there are three, but I prefer this one as it was there for me when I first came to the bayou. I have always been a library person, I have fond memories of my local libraries in Southern California.
When I first moved to old Gretna in 2005 I used the libraries there and after Katrina, I sought out the library here. It was initially located in a run down looking library not far from the new building now. I borrowed movies, borrowed books for me and my young son, attended their events and when they built a new library I followed them there.
They have a wide selection of movies, a vast number of computers, a teen section and children’s’ area and computers for the young ones. The staff is great and it seems funny to realize that I have know them all for 7 years now. They have displayed art from local artists and had art competitions, there’s a little area in the lobby that has books and mags for sale, the meeting room is a good size and can be booked for your needs (i used this to recruit people for Census work :))
They have a new Librarian now, Jasmine… she rocks… not sure what happen to that other one she was kinda scary… told me once that if I ever walked off without paying for copies (i never actually took them I just forgot)…I wouldn’t be allowed to use the computers again… really? ok… she’s gone anyway… I love my library and will teach my young one to love it too… when’s the last time you went to the Library? I think i hear it calling your name…
