It is the mission
of the Rapides Parish Library to provide informational, cultural,
educational, and recreational materials to the people of Rapides
Parish. The library will continue its emphasis on books and other
print materials, while also expanding appropriate audiovisual media to
meet customer needs. The Rapides Parish Library is a local center
for continuing self-education and backup resource for students at all
levels. The library does not attempt to maintain a historical
repository for all human knowledge, but rather an active collection,
meeting current and foreseeable needs.
