Director’s Welcome

Greetings!

On behalf of our staff and board, please allow me to welcome you to the Beauregard Parish Library. For over seven decades we have encouraged and facilitated knowledge, growth, and imagination for residents and guests of Beauregard Parish.

While much has changed in the library field over that time, one thing remains constant: our dedication to meeting your information needs. Whether it’s streaming a TV show in the middle of the night, asking a tutor to clarify that last algebraic equation, checking out a new cookbook, or joining one of our many events, you can find what you’re looking for here.

To best serve you, we have branch locations across the parish in addition to our main branch in DeRidder. Our locations and hours can be found on our website. Don’t feel like leaving home? No problem! Explore our website to discover our myriad digital products and services you can access anywhere 24/7.

To best stay current with our offerings, don’t forget to visit our online Calendar of Events, and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube. Our staff is happy to help you with any questions or suggestions you may have. Moreover, I welcome you to stop in for a visit or contact me at 337-463-6217 or at admin@beau.org.

Again, welcome! And remember: at Beauregard Parish Library, you can “Find It Here!”
