Yes! To configure your CloudLibrary App settings to access the widest range of books available in the app: 1. Open the Cloud Library App and navigate to the Filter Options in the Search Feature Open the app, and in the menu at the bottom of the screen, tap on Search. At the top of the screen, to the right of the search bar, tap on the filter button (it looks like a funnel in a circle), which will open the filter options screen. 2. Choose Your Filter Preferences Remember that these filter preferences are "sticky," which means that once you change them, they will stay on those settings until you change them again. Format Preferences: Select the format of books you're interested in. For example, I prefer audiobooks, so I usually only have the "Audiobooks" option checked. You can adjust this based on your own reading or listening preferences. Availability Preferences: This is the most important selection. Tap the Suggestions for library option. This will allow you to see available books, books you can reserve when they are returned, and books that are NOT in the collection but that you can suggest for the library to purchase. When you tap on the orange Suggest button, it notifies the library to consider ordering the book. If the library orders it, you'll get a notification as soon as it’s available for checkout. Make sure your contact information in your library card account is up to date in case we need to contact you. Language Settings: Make sure the language is set to English (or whichever language you prefer). The language setting helps ensure you get the most relevant results in your search. 3. Save your Settings: When your settings are to your liking, tap on the word Save on the top of the screen to the right. That’s it! Happy reading and happy listening!

Yes, the library welcomes donations books and movies (DVD's or Blu-ray) in good condition (with the exception of textbooks). Good condition means the items: ​ Are intact with no damage (have dust jackets) Are free of dust and grime Have no odor ​ 4.3.5 Donations of Books and Other Materials (See full Collection Development Policy HERE) ​ The West Feliciana Parish Library accepts donations of books and other materials from individuals or groups with the following understanding: For an item to be added to the library’s collection, it must meet the same selection criteria as purchased materials. Donations become the property of the West Feliciana Parish Library and may be given to other libraries and nonprofit agencies, sold at the Friends of the West Feliciana Parish Library book sale, or discarded at the discretion of library staff. Donated materials that have been added to the collection will not automatically be replaced if worn out, damaged, or lost, or if they have become obsolete. The Library Director makes the final decision on the acceptance, use, display, housing, access, withdrawal, or other disposition of material gifts. The library does not provide a monetary appraisal of any gift for income tax or other purposes but may provide a receipt for the number of items donated. The Library Director reserves the right to refuse any offered donation that will place a hardship on the library (repair, condition, storage, size, etc.) If the library is offered items other than books, the Library Director will consider the following: Is the gift appropriate for a public library? Will the gift benefit the library and the community? Is there space in the library to accommodate it? Is there maintenance involved? If so, how will it be funded?

Getting a library card costs absolutely nothing! That's right, the costs to run the library are covered by a property tax that the community voted on back in 2012. Think of it as a community gift—you’ve already chipped in, and now it’s time to enjoy the benefits! This tax will be back on the ballot in 2031.
