Community Outreach

Our Community Outreach Department consists of two librarians. Together, we engage the community by getting outside our library walls and bringing library services directly to the community by developing partnerships with local businesses and other community organizations and participating in various community events throughout Bossier Parish.

  • We deliver books to library users who are homebound through our BPL Delivers service
  • We act as a liaison between the library and Bossier Schools
  • We work with library administration to evaluate and create library services and policies to better meet the needs of our community
  • We manage library marketing and social media
  • We attend various community events both to advocate for the library and also to support our community
  • We bring library materials and activities to local community groups (after school programs, nursing homes, schools, treatment facilities, etc.)
  • We serve as the official media contact for the library
