Lafayette Library's Drag Queen Story Time to now be held Oct. 6 at South Louisiana Community College

The Lafayette Public Library's program titled "Drag Queen Story Time," scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 6, 2018, is being moved from the Main Library on Congress Street in downtown Lafayette to the South Louisiana Community College. The event will be held from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Health and Sciences Auditorium on the SLCC campus at 1101 Bertrand Drive, Lafayette.

The event is being hosted by SLCC's Umbrella Club and the Lafayette Public Library.

According to LPL Director Teresa Elberson, the move addresses the need for a larger venue due to an anticipated-overflow crowd and resulting safety concerns. In addition, the expected disruption to regular Saturday activities at the Main Library makes moving the program to another venue practical.

The titles to be read by Delta Lambda Phi have been reviewed and selected. They are “From the Stars in the Sky to the Fish in the Sea” by Kai Cheng Thom, “Strictly No Elephants” by Lisa Mantchev and “The Rainbow Fish” by Marcus Pfister. The titles are now listed on the library's website at LafayettePublicLibrary.org
