Libraries make knowledge accessible to everyone with resources in-person and online. The Lafayette Public Library offers programs for all ages, from computer classes to crafts, book clubs, lifestyle classes, lecture series, and more.

During September, the Lafayette Public Library issues a limited-edition library card designed by a local artist to celebrate our community and the librarys services. Our 2024 library card comes from the creative mind of local illustrator and award-winning art director, Burton Durand!

After years of working in advertising as a designer and art director, he is now a freelance creative based right here in Lafayette.

When asked about what inspired the design of this years limited edition card, Durand replied, I wanted to use a playful retro illustration style, something that could appeal to both kids and adults. Something that could be out of a cartoon from the 70s or from today. I usually try to inject a bit of humor into my work, which I think works really well here.

This limited-edition design is now available at LPL.

Dance, Drama, Music and Circus Headline the PASA 24-25 Season

PASA Heads to Three Venues with Six Sizzling Shows

With an eye on innovative, spectacular talent, Performing Arts Serving Acadiana (PASA) rolls out its season with the classical ensemble OperaCréole, and pop-up performances in the historic theater at Baranco Elementary.  The stunning Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble partners with the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, and the breath-taking Omnium Circus round out the season, both at Lafayette’s Heymann Performing Arts Center. All performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for all PASA events are available at the Heymann Center box office and online at www.heymanncenter.com.

The 24-25 PASA season offers a sweeping lineup that guarantees a rich array of performers—local to global—whose performances will surely bring laughs, gasps, cheers, and maybe a few tears. Six fantastic performances will take place in three venues, as PASA expands its reach through partnerships and purposeful pursuit of new spaces and faces.
