Livingston Parish Library Celebrates Library Card Sign-Up Month; Announces Community Initiative

In September, in honor of Library Card Sign-Up Month, YOUR Library announced its new community initiative titled Our Library. Our commUNITY.

About Our Library. Our commUNITY.
Our Library. Our commUNITY. is a unified effort to bring awareness to the vast amount of resources and events the Library provides to the Livingston Parish community. From traditional offerings such as books and DVDs to non-traditional materials including mobile hotspots, telescopes and museum passes, the Library strives to introduce new services to meet the needs of the growing parish. to pursue dreams, explore new passions and interests, and find their voice.

“It has been proven many times that libraries have a profound impact on the communities they serve,” said Library Director Giovanni Tairov. “For over 75 years, the Library has served this community through its programs and collections. Our library system was organized and implemented by the community, for the community. We are extremely proud of the growth, accomplishments, and connections we’ve made during the past seven decades, and look forward to deepening those connections through a series of themed events and programs over the next several months.”

Themed Programs and Events
Over the next several months, YOUR Library will host various community-centered events aimed at positively impacting the community. Each event will be tied to a monthly theme and will feature components that reflect the interests and backgrounds of our growing parish.

For example, October’s theme is Find Your Family. In honor of Family History Month, we’re focusing on genealogical topics and family events.
