đź“š Today is the last day to early vote for the June 27 election.

Here’s what you need to know about the Library's Millage Continuation Proposition:
:
âś… LOWER rate of 9.5 mills, 14.4% lower than the rate approved over the last 30 years and projected to include two future rollbacks over the next 10 years

âś… CONTINUATION of the dedicated Library funding voters have approved for decades

âś… DEDICATED funding with 100% of the revenue going directly to the Library and nowhere else

⚠️ If the proposition does not pass, the Library will receive no new revenue. To keep libraries open, cuts would be needed to hours, book and digital collections, Libby, programs, and other services.

We're getting closer to completing the renovation of the Scotlandville Branch! Yesterday, the mural based on “Royal March Into the City" by local artist and Southern University professor Randell Henry was installed.

The mural welcomes guests into the Black Heritage Room, a dedicated space for special exhibits, displays, and programs celebrating Black art, literature, and culture.
We are honored to feature "Royal March Into the City" at the Scotlandville Branch.

Throughout his career, Professor Henry has inspired and taught art to countless students throughout the region, especially in the Scotlandville community, and we hope this beautiful piece will continue to inspire everyone who visits the library for years to come.

Go Gentle by Maria Semple "The New York Times bestselling author of Where’d You Go, Bernadette returns to form in her most exuberant and life-affirming novel yet with the story of one woman’s cheerful determination to live a life of the mind only to have the heart force its way in.

Adora Hazzard has it all figured out. A Stoic philosopher and divorcée, she lives a contented life on New York City’s Upper West Side. Having discovered that the secret to happiness is to desire only what you have, she’s applied this insight to blissful effect: relishing her teenage daughter, the freedom of being solo, and her job as a moral tutor for the twin boys of an old-money family. She’s even assembled a “coven”—like-minded women who live on the same floor in the legendary Ansonia—and is making active efforts to grow its membership. Adora’s carefully curated life is humming along brilliantly until a chance meeting with a handsome stranger.

Soon, her ordered world is upended by black-market art deals, secret rendezvous, and international intrigue . . . and her past—which she has worked so hard to bury—lands like a bomb in her present. Inflamed by unquenchable desire, Adora finds herself a woman wanting more: and she’ll risk everything to get it."
