The Eunice Library will reopen this week following its split from the Opelousas-Eunice Public Library in July.
On Friday, Mayor Scott Fontenot said, “We are going for a soft reopening the end of next week.”
Eunice Mayor Scott Fontenot said he plans to reopen the Eunice Library by August.
Public hearings are scheduled ordinances to open the way for the city of Eunice to form its own library and break away from the Opelousas-Eunice Library, which was formed in 1967.
A move to reestablish the Eunice Public Library gained traction at Tuesday’s city meeting as aldermen approved a pair of ordinances — one to repeal an ordinance forming the Opelousas-Eunice system and the other to reestablish the Eunice library.
