Lafayette Public Library Services

The Lafayette Public Library has been adapting to everyone’s new normal. Though our branches are closed to the public at this time, we have plenty of services to offer:
*We have a Digital Storytime on Facebook every Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:00 AM.

*We are offering a new temporary home delivery service called Booking It To You. Here’s how it works:

Booking It To You is our new contactless delivery option for library patrons unable to get to the library due to health concerns, caring for out-of-school children, or lack of transportation. We can deliver up to ten (10) items, such as books, audiobooks, DVDs, and music to households within Lafayette Parish. Call 337-261-5789 to sign up or visit LafayettePublicLibrary.org/outreach for more information. We will do our best to have deliveries take place within a week’s time.

*Drive-thru window service has resumed at the regional libraries (North, South, East, and West) and the Main Library with normal hours. People can pick up a hold in they’ve been notified (by email, text, phone, or app) that their item is ready.
  –  Milton Branch holds can be picked up at South Regional’s drive-thru in Lafayette.
  –  Duson Branch holds can be picked up at West Regional’s drive-thru in Scott.
  –  Chenier Branch holds can be picked up at the Main Library drive-thru downtown.
*All book drops are open. Returns are being quarantined for 72 hours before being checked in and put back on the shelves. (We’re excited to be back serving our patrons, but everyone’s health and safety is a priority for us.)
*Need a library card? Visit: lafayettepubliclibrary.org/getacard to apply for one.
*Have a reference question? You can email: reference@lafayettepubliclibrary.org or call a regional library for assistance.
*Download our Lafayette Public Library app for your iPhone or Android smartphone. You can search our catalog, place holds, and the app will let you know when your requests are available to be picked up.
