Engaging experiences for all!
The Livingston Parish Library has several recurring events, workshops, and classes that combine creativity and community! And don't worry: There's something for everyone, no matter their age!
Our adult patrons can explore their passions with activities such as writing workshops, board games, art sessions, crochet and sewing classes, and puzzling. For children, we have early literacy programs, LEGO Club, art lessons, volunteer opportunities, and more. Whether you're looking to hone your skills or simply find a fun way to connect with others, there’s something for everyone at the Library! Check out what we have and be part of these enriching experiences!
Adult Writers Club
Whether you're an aspiring novelist, a poet at heart, or just someone who loves to explore the written word, this is the place to bring your stories to life! Our club is a welcoming community where you'll get to sharpen your skills, be inspired, build confidence, and make connections. During each club meeting, we will participate in troubleshooting discussions, enjoy some writing time, and end the session with friendly feedback for those who want it. This club is held twice a month at the Denham Springs-Walker Branch. To find out how to join, contact Lee Cline at lcline@mylpl.info.
