Join us at the Main Library at Goodwood on Saturday, February 18 at 1 p.m. for Saturday Science, LSU’s free public talk series connecting the community to science and technology. This month, Dr. Brooks Ellwood will speak about the LSU Campus Mounds. Radiocarbon dating of the two LSU Campus Mounds indicates that they are probably the oldest known and intact man-made structure in the Americas. The older (deeper) parts of both of the Mounds contain many thin, burned ash lenses, suggesting that they may have been used for ceremonial or cremation purposes. In this talk, a detailed analysis of the Mounds and estimates of their age will be discussed. |

This week's #SundaySelection is our One Book One Community pick, The Blues: The Authentic Narrative of My Music and Culture by Chris Thomas King. Prior histories on the blues have alleged it originated on plantations in the Mississippi Delta. But author & musician Chris Thomas King disagrees, arguing the blues began as a cosmopolitan art form in New Orleans, not a rural one in the Mississippi Delta. In The Blues, King presents supporting facts to disprove such myths & preserve the authentic historical memory of his music & culture.
Join us today from 4-6 p.m. at the Main Library at Goodwood for our One Book One Community Kickoff Party! Bring the whole family to enjoy delicious food & refreshments, live music by The Michael Foster Project, crafts, & community organizations celebrating Louisiana's rich music, culture, history, & more! #ebrpl #OneBookOneCommunity #TheBlues #ChrisThomasKing |

Amanda Roberts is a renowned musician who won the 2017 National Hammer Dulcimer Championship. The Hammered Dulcimer is a percussion-stringed instrument which consists of strings stretched over a trapezoidal resonant sound board and is played by being struck with handheld hammers. It is quite the treat to hear one in person!
Amanda will be accompanied by percussionist Lady Chops (Elizabeth Vidos) who performed Off-Broadway with STOMP for 10 years. They can both be seen performing at the 2023 New Orleans Jazz Festival. Together they are bringing lively music to EBRPL originating from the countries of Ireland, Scotland and Wales in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.

Presenter: Jean Landry with The Nature Conservancy
Description: Twenty three years ago Jean Landry, The Nature Conservancy program manager for Grand Isle, started the Migratory Bird Festival out of her back yard in Grand Isle with help from a few friends. “For three years it was held in my back yard, and after we had over 320 people show up one year, it was decided we had to move it.” The Grand Isle Migratory Bird Festival will celebrate 22 years in 2024. It has been a “must do “not just for birders from Louisiana but from those from around the world. Landry will talk on the festival, surviving hurricanes and the “Restore Grand Isle” efforts.
Although we encourage everyone to attend in person, we do still offer a virtual option via Zoom. Emails programs@braudubon.org for the registration link |

The East Baton Rouge Parish Library is proud to host the Middleburg Institute at the Main Library at Goodwood on Sunday, September 15 at 6 p.m. for the premiere of Press Robinson's new book, Pressing Forward. In this down-to-earth memoir, longtime educator and community leader, Press L.

The first elected Black member of the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board, Robinson consistently fought to level the playing field for Black Americans and to better the social and physical environment of his adopted city. Robinson will show a brief documentary, speak about his experiences, read some excerpts from his book, and hold a Q & A with audience members. Light refreshments will be provided. |
