Important Announcements
- To facilitate continued progress with construction, the DeRidder library branch will open at noon (12 PM) Mondays through Fridays beginning Monday, August 24, 2026. We will revert to our usual schedule as soon as carpeting in the public areas of the Library is complete, which we anticipate to be no later than September 21st, 2026 (and likely before). All other library branches will retain their usual schedules.
- Children’s & YA room collections are available for browsing and check-out. Adult level collections (fiction and non-fiction) and shelving units are currently disordered and will be for several days. The majority of these collections are currently accessible to staff but not the public. Please ask staff for assistance in finding and retrieving the items you seek.
- The Study Rooms at DeRidder are still unavailable.
