Library administrators are working closely with Thompson Construction and GFP Architectural Firm, meeting regularly on-site to monitor the build and ensure the space reflects the needs and vision of the community. The updated library is designed to be more than just a place for books—it will be a state-of-the-art facility featuring:

  • An ultra-modern Makerspace

  • Ample meeting and collaborative spaces

  • The latest technology tools and resources

  • Design elements that honor the Bayou community

The project remains on track for completion by late fall 2025, with a grand reopening to follow once staff have moved back in and prepared the space for public use.

Library officials expressed gratitude for the community’s patience and support, stating: “We have missed you and look forward to welcoming you back to a bigger, better South Lafourche Library.”
