Write Letters
A good way to get involved with our efforts is to write letters to our local Lafayette Parish officials expressing your outrage at the continuing attacks on our library. The more citizens who let them know that these policies DO NOT reflect our values as citizens, the better. Need a sample letter? Click HERE.
Begin with a letter via email to the Board of Control. Their address is: LPLBoard@lafayettepubliclibrary.org
Email the Director of the Lafayette Public Library. His name is Danny Gillane. His address is: directorsoffice@lafayettepubliclibrary.org
Email the Mayor-President of Lafayette Parish, Monique Boulet. Her address is: MayorPresidentsOffice@LafayetteLA.gov
You can also email the Lafayette Parish Council members, who are responsible for appointing the members of the LPL Board of Control. Their names and email addresses are:
Bryan Tabor, District 1: BryanTabor@LafayetteLA.gov
Donald Richard, District 2: donaldrichard@lafayettela.gov
Ken Stansbury, District 3: kenstansbury@lafayettela.gov
John Guilbeau, District 4: JohnGuilbeau@LafayetteLA.gov
AB Rubin, District 5: ABRubin@LafayetteLA.gov
Make Phone Calls
Don’t feel you are limited to writing emails about this issue. Please call and let library administration, as well as our local city-parish government officials, know that the Board of Control is WRONG! Not only do they NOT represent our values as a community, but they have grossly overstepped their authority, are flaunting the Library Code of Ethics, and are participating in the largest modern assault on Free Speech and Freedom of Information ever known in Lafayette Parish. We will speak up! We will not allow our rights to be taken away! Need a sample script? Click HERE.
