Due to the uncertainty with the path, intensity, and timeline, the Library System will be CLOSED on Sunday, August 31st.
This impacts both the Main Library and the Southside Branch. Both are normally open from 1 - 5 pm but will both be closed tomorrow (Sunday, August 31st.)
We plan on shutting down our webserver and Library catalog on Sunday afternoon. We apologize for this inconvenience, but it is a necessary precaution. We will restore normal library services as soon as it is possible to do so.
Book due dates will be changed on materials due during the closed time. Please keep your library materials until we reopen. We will be closing our outside book returns for the duration of the storm. Please do not leave materials you have to return or donate on the library premises at this time. They will not survive the anticipated rains and wind.
Public Access Computers will be unavailable after 3:00 today at all locations. Wifi will likely be unavailable as well.
If there is no update on this site after Gustav approaches Lafayette Parish, please check the State Library blog to see if Lafayette Public Library has an update listed.

Check the status
The State Library of Louisiana has established the Louisiana Library Status Blog:
http://prepare.lib.la.us/blog/
Library Administrators from around the state will post as they are able any news or updates concerning their library's open/closed status, before and after storm updates, needs for staff or materials, and also general information for staff. This is a public blog for anyone to see.
We will post on that site as appropriate, in addition to this site. There is always the chance that we cannot access the internet to post. In that event, we will try to reach colleagues at the State Library with our news and they will post.
