“What do we know of the past? Our own past? The history of an area does not stay alive on its own. Left unattended, history fades away from the memory of

people.” - Clifford LeGrang

The Iberia Parish Library is proud to host a presentation and book signing of

“Bayou Pigeon, LA-Spirit of the Atchafalaya” that will be held on Wednesday April 3 at 6:30 p.m. at the Main Library. The authors will present a

special program that documents the old-time traditions and folk life culture of Cajun Bayou Pigeon and Atchafalaya heritage. The program will focus on

the book and the special Bayou Pigeon/New Iberia connection (bon voisinage). There will also be printed material, illustrations, storytellers, and songs with

special music by Mr. Calvin LeBlanc. This inspiring book covers many historical facts along with countless first hand stories of the area and Cajun

culture. Make sure to register for this enlightening program by calling the Main Library at 337.364.7024.

Iberia Parish Library welcomes Wildlife and Fisheries‟ Dusty Rhodes back to the library to teach his very own Square Foot Gardening Introductory class. At this workshop you will learn the basic facts about square foot

gardening, the exact number of seeds to plant, soil ratios and much more. Mr. Rhodes has been square foot gardening for years, and he wants to share

his knowledge with you. It‟s fast, cheaper than conventional gardening, virtually weed free, and great for small yards or confined areas. Make sure to dust off those gardening gloves and get back into gardening just in time
