How to become a friend

of the Library

Join a group of civic-minded men and women who know that any community

will be a better place to live if that community has first-rate libraries.

Becoming a friend is simple. Pick up a pamphlet at your Iberia Parish Library.

Fill out your information, check off which membership you would like to

obtain, and then fill out what areas of volunteering interest you most. It’s fast,

simple, and your contribution to the community will help maintain the Iberia

Parish Library system. For more information call 364.7024.

The Main Library has relocated its book drop from Main Street to Civic

Circle. By now, most of you have probably noticed. If not, the new

spaces begin. This new and improved

drop has a place for books AND now offers a slot for CDs, DVDs, and

audiobooks. Make sure to check it

out next time you are returning your books to the library!
