LaPlace Library
In the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, St. John the Baptist Parish Library staff worked diligently to reopen a service location in LaPlace. An entrance was created to the left of the Norris J. Millet Sr. Library Branch, opening the doors to a cheerful, renovated space with all the services the community has come to know and love in a more compact area. The smaller facility offers print/copy/fax services, computer access, designated children’s and teen/adult spaces, two meeting rooms, and a study room. Now the time has come to begin the process of redesigning and rebuilding the LaPlace Branch.
An open house style community meeting on the LaPlace rebuild will be held from 4 to 6 PM Tuesday, September 24th inside the Multipurpose Room of the Reserve Branch at 1482 Highway 44 in Reserve.

Roland Borne, Sr. Memorial Library (CLOSED)
This branch has served Edgard and its surrounding areas for over 20 years and serves as the parish seat. It received an expansion in 2017 to better serve the people. The library was named after Roland Borne who was committed to improving the community; especially his hometown of Edgard. It offers book collections, story times, computers, DVDs, audiobooks, online databases, faxing, newspapers, magazines, meeting rooms, and much more.
Exciting news! Our Roland Borne Sr. Memorial Library in Edgard received approval for a rebuild with some major changes! A huge thank you to everyone who joined our community meeting back in August 2024. We listened to your wonderful ideas and used them to help shape the new design. While we work on the rebuild, we are busy setting up a temporary site. We are making sure it is fully accessible for everyone, and it will be open very soon!
In the meantime, you can still access our online resources from home. Plus, our three other St. John the Baptist Parish branches are open and can't wait to welcome you!
