Thursday, Sept 11 - 7 pm UPDATE

The Lafayette Public Library - all locations - will be closed due to Hurricane Ike all day Friday, September 12th and Saturday, September 13th. With the anticipated high winds - possibly sustained, there is a strong potential for road hazards - trees/power lines, etc.

The Friends of the Library book sale is cancelled for Friday and Saturday.

We tentatively plan to reopen the Main Library and Southside Libraries ONLY on Sunday from 1:00 - 5:00 should our facilities have power/Internet/no damage.

Non-essential Library employees are officially on Civil Leave - at this time for Friday Only (see below) and are expected to check in with their supervisor regarding their scheduled Sunday or Monday shifts.

Patrons - please hold your library materials until we reopen. We will announce it through this site, as well as in the media. Items waiting to be picked up will have hold dates extended once we reopen.

We will be bringing down our servers, including our web page and our online catalog, by Friday morning. Those services will be unavailable until at least Sunday. Note that we will be redirecting traffic from our web page to this blog site.

We apologize for this necessary inconvenience.
