Residents in Lake Charles and Vinton will soon see the return of regular library services thanks to a $20,000 donation from the American Library Associationâs Disaster Relief Fund. The donation is allocated to purchase portable buildings for the Epps Memorial Library, Moss Bluff Library and Fontenot Memorial Library â each of which sustained significant damage from Hurricanes Laura and Delta that rendered them uninhabitable. Â
âWe had trees and branches fall on the roofs so thereâs definitely roof damage on all of those,â Margie Harrison, library director, said. âWeâve got big issues with themâ¦Weâre not sure exactly how long they wonât be open but weâre saying at least six months.â
