Benefiting from the food drive will be Covington Food Bank, the First Baptist Church of Slidell and the Samaritan Center in Mandeville.

The St. Tammany Parish Library will celebrate National Library Week April 14-20 with fine forgiveness, great performers, and fun events. Libraries across the country will be celebrating the week with the theme, "Communities Matter @ youth library."

Donations of non-perishable food items will be accepted at all library branches to benefit the food banks at the Covington Food Bank, the First Baptist Church of Slidell and the Samaritan Center in Mandeville. Each donated item will be worth $1 of fine forgiveness during National Library Week.

Donald Westmoreland, Library Director, stated, “Service to our community has always been our primary focus. We are excited to have the chance to serve St. Tammany in a new way during our National Library Week celebration.”

Tuba Skinny will perform April 17 at 6 p.m. at the Lacombe Branch, 28027 Highway 190, Lacombe, 985.882.7858. Listeners should bring their own chairs to this outdoor concert sponsored by Friends of the Slidell Library. In the event of rain, the concert will take place at 6 p.m. on April 24.

Calliope Puppets will make two presentations of their puppet show, “Walls and Bridges: Tales of Peaceful Resolution.” The show will feature folk tales from Russia, the Marshall Islands, the United States, and China. The first performance will be April 18 at 6:30 p.m. at the Slidell Branch, 555 Robert Blvd, 985.646.6470; the second, April 20, 8 p.m., Causeway Branch, 3457 U.S. 190, Mandeville, 985.626.9779.
