A fan of Louisiana Public Broadcasting and Louisiana history, LSUA SPERO Program student Tyler watched LPB's recent episode of LA64 featuring cultural and historic sites in Rapides Parish.

While watching, Tyler spotted LSUA Archivist Megan Lord discussing the Epps House and the next day, asked her for a tour. We were happy to make that tour happen for Tyler this morning! He asked great questions and enjoyed visiting the site.

Congratulations to our LSUA SPERO Program intern, Gloria, on her upcoming graduation! She has been one our most reliable and diligent student workers and is a delight to have in the library. We are all so proud of her!

🎉 A Sweet Farewell and Big Congratulations to Gloria! 📚

Yesterday, our Spero student Gloria celebrated her last day as an intern at the LSUA Bolton Library — and what a beautiful send-off!

After two wonderful years of dedication and growth, Gloria is graduating and moving forward to apply her job training in her local libraries. Dr. Lillian Purdy and Mrs. Megan Lord, her amazing supervisors, surprised her with a thoughtful graduation party complete with cupcakes, lemonade, and lots of smiles.

The Bolton Library has been more than just a workplace for Gloria — it’s been a place where she felt truly included, valued, and loved. We are so grateful for the kindness and support Dr. Purdy, Mrs. Lord and all of the library staff and students have shown her throughout her internship.

Gloria, we are incredibly proud of you! Your hard work, positive spirit, and determination have made a real difference. We can’t wait to see all the great things you’ll do in your local libraries!

A huge thank you to everyone at the Bolton Library for creating such a welcoming and inclusive environment. This is what Spero is all about — opening doors and building bright futures! 💜
