I went to return some books that I checked out. I also purchased the final book in the "Atlee Pine", "Mercy" series by David Baldacci. They have books for sale, in order to help support the library.

The library has implemented all the the guidelines for the pandemic. You can feel comfortable going there. If you don't have a mask they will provide it for you. Its handicap accessible with ample parking and elevators. 10/4/22, mask are optional now. They are no longer required. They have started their computer class again along with other interest. Check it out.

You will be asked to log in with your library card number and PIN (usually the last 4 digits of your phone number), and then you will be placed in the next available spot in the queue for that item. If several people have requested that item or it is already checked out, you may have to wait several weeks before the item is available to you. Once the item is ready to be picked up, you will be notified by email or phone call with the library location where your item is being held. If you would prefer to request your hold over the phone, you may call the Information Services desk (Adult: 261-5787 or Children’s 261-5779) and ask a librarian to place your hold. Holds can be placed on all types of library materials, although some speci

No there newspaper archives only go back to 1974. However, the University of louisiana at lafayette's newspaper archives go back to early 20th century. So they would have what you would need.
