What is "lagniappe?"

Pronounced as a French word, lagniappe (lan-yap) is a Cajun-French inspired noun that means “a little extra.” Often used to describe something good, this word is the NOLA-call for receiving anything extra, or better yet, receiving something for free. We think that pretty much sums up our library, because every time you come to one of our programs, you're getting a little something extra!


You know you can depend on your library for resources, reading, and the latest tech. Don't miss out on the "lagniappe" of our exciting events and programs.
