The Madisonville Branch is hosting biographies
of Louisiana characters through a RELIC Grant the St. Tammany Library won from
the Louisianan Endowment for the Humanities. The program will last for six weeks. The six biographies that will be
discussed pertain to Baroness Pontalba, Lafitte the Pirate, Kate Chopin, Huey
Long, Louis Armstrong, and “the Last Madam.” The Madisonville Library has all the materials you need to
read and to join the discussion.
Congratulations to the St. Tammany Library for winning another
RELIC (Readings in Literature and
Culture) from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities Grant
