Pictures from the Valentine's party
The Valentine's Day party at the library was a huge success! Thanks everyone who came out to visit and eat cookies and drink hot chocolate at the library for making everything so wonderful. You're what we do this for! :)
This week is National Catholic Colleges Week, and today's celebration will include jambalaya served at the library commons with talks to follow. Thursday will be similar, with pizza and another presentation. Hopefully the weather will hold out and we'll have more fantastic photos to share next week.
Thank you all for reading. Have a great day. :)

For Fiction Fans!
There's a really unique new way to search for new authors to read. If you check out this spiffy new link you'll find a map of literary similarities. Searching for an author on the Literature-Map will bring up a diagram showing links to other authors. How close they are to the author in the center will show you how likely it is for someone who likes the center author to also like the linked author.
It's simple, fun, and a handy way to find new fun things to read. :)

Searching Tips
The Medical Library Association published a helpful table with links to places where you will be able to find the best directory information on government health care services.
While keyword searching is helpful, using these services will help you get more accurate results. They are web services sponsored by the government that will provide current and accurate information. The chart that the Medical Library Association published includes a description of the directory, where they get the information for it, how frequently it updates, and what kind of information it contains.
This information is useful for anyone who needs to find current information about where to find government health care services. Local information may also be available from the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals. Emergency information for our state is always available at the state emergency web portal.
