We are moving into the busiest time of year at the library. Below are the activities taking place in our library for these last few weeks of May. We invite all our patrons, young and old and small and large, to participate in our programs. We would love to see you here!

On May 13 (that is this Wednesday), we have our monthly Bingo program beginning at 1:00. Invite your friends and come enjoy some fellowship and some fun! We have light refreshments and some great prizes, so come out and enjoy the fun.

On May 15, Storytime will begin at 10:00 am. What does Ms. Kala have in store for the young ones this week? Who knows? It is always a surprise! What books will she read? What activities does she have planned? I am not telling anyone, so come out to the library and find out what is going on.

On Tuesday, May 19, the LWDA will be here to help anyone who needs assistance with finding a job. They will help with resumes and applications and will answer any questions you may have about finding a job. The purpose of this program is to help people become job-ready.

On Wednesday, May 20, the genealogy program is up and running. Participants can bring their own laptops and have access to genealogy programs on our library website. Mrs. Linda Young and Dr. Virginia Webb are always ready to assist others to find information about their ancestors. The action starts at 10 am and goes until 12. Mrs. Young is also available at other times during the week to assist anyone who needs help finding information.

On Friday, May 22, Storytime gets started at 10:am. Parents and grandparents are invited to join Ms. Kala and the children for all the fun.

Also on Friday, May 22, Mr. Tobin Deville will be here to provide instruction in the area of Computer Security? Are you worried about someone hacking into your computer and stealing your information? There are a lot of concerns in our society today about keeping our data safe. Mr. Deville will conduct two sessions, the first in the morning beginning at 10:00 and the second beginning at 2:00 in the afternoon. Be sure to call the library at 932-5614 to get your name on the list for the session you wish to attend.

On Monday, May 25, the library will be closed in honor of Memorial Day.

On Friday, May 29, Storytime will begin at 10:00 am. Ms. Kala will be waiting for you children to meet with her for some reading fun. There are always some new characters to meet as well as some old ones that we have loved for a long time. Come join the fun!

We only have a few weeks before our Summer Reading Program kicks off with a bang! The first activity takes place at the end of June (more information to come soon). The theme is “Plant a Seed, Read!”

Has anyone tried our new Check-out Louisiana State Parks program? Remember that a family can check out a backpack and get a free pass that allows free entrance to a state park or an historic site. The pass permits one vehicle and its passengers to enter a park for the day. Contact the library at 932-5614.

Please check the calendar on the library website for information on all of the activities. The library website can be found at redriverparishlibrary.org.
