At Rapides Parish Library, we’re proud to be more than just books—we’re a resource, a support system, and a part of our community 💛
We’re honored to share this kind message from one of our patrons:
✨ “Rusty... expertly assisted me with research for my dissertation. When I arrived, he had already pulled the requested resources—plus many more. As a parent, this made my task so much easier. He also guided me through APA referencing, which was incredibly helpful. Rusty is a wealth of knowledge and a valuable asset to the library.”
—Aleah L. Vinson Fotakis, Ed.D.
