Blanco Public Policy Center Construction Project

Areas behind the library and on the east side of the building will be fenced off as well as areas on the 3rd floor. There will be periods of little or no activity and low to moderate noise at times.
Be cautious of the designated construction areas in and around the library.
Fun Fact Friday with Special Collections
This week we are taking a look at some of the customs that are adhered to in South Louisiana for All Saints day.
For many in south Louisiana, All Saints and All Souls days are a time to remember those who have gone before them. For some, this includes performing work at cemeteries and graveyards. All Saints Day, also known as La Toussaint, is similar to the Mexican traditions for Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos.
