A few words about
What We Do
Our work
Lafayette Loves Libraries works to maintain support for our library system.
As public institutions, libraries are not allowed to take part in campaign activities or advocate for any ballot initiatives, even those that affect its own funding. As a PAC, however, we have the freedom to promote the library and ask for the public’s support.
Education
One of the most important things we do is educating the public about the library’s value to the community, especially during the months just before a millage election.
advocacy
Our primary mission is organizing campaigns on behalf of library funding initiatives when they come before the voters. In 2002, Lafayette Loves Libraries successfully campaigned to pass both a 10-year millage and a $40 million bond proposition in order to expand the library system throughout the parish.
