The Martin Branch of the Rapides Parish Library
System is a landmark in the Pineville community. In 1950, the children
of Mildred B. Martin endowed the library in her honor. Mrs. Martin was
the wife of prominent Pineville businessman Roy O. Martin, Sr., and through
the continuing generosity of the Martin family, the library has expanded
its building and made extensive renovations.
The Martin Branch
serves the Pineville community and is easily accessible to Louisiana College,
Pineville High School, Pineville Junior High School, and several elementary
schools. Located in the older business district of Pineville, the library
is also close to Huey P. Long Hospital and Central
State Hospital, a mental health facility.
 Every
summer the library participates in the state-wide Summer Reading Program.
Guided tours of the library and special story times can be arranged upon
request. The Martin Branch also offers a community meeting room that is
available to non-profit groups. For more information about the Martin Branch,
its history, and its services, please contact the branch librarians by
phone. |
