Looking for things to do in this new year? Check out the Ascension Parish Library calendar for a long list of programs for all ages. Here are a few upcoming programs at library locations throughout the parish. Remember, the Donaldsonville library branch is in a new location due to renovations at the permanent branch. Visit myapl.org for details and to register for events.
During her recent visit at the library, Robin Preiss Glasser donated a signed and numbered fine art giclee print from her new book, "Grand Jet and Me," to Ascension Parish Library which will be permanently displayed at our Gonzales location. Additionally, she donated a signed and numbered test print giclee of the same image which the library will be giving away in a random drawing.
Entrants must be an Ascension Parish resident through 18 years old and submit a written or drawn response to Robin Preiss Glasser about a time in their life when an adult shared something that inspired them or any other autobiographical defining moment. Submissions will be accepted at all library locations through Jan. 10 and the winner will be announced in mid-January.
Twice daily we'll send you the day's biggest headlines. Sign up today.
