📖 About Lincoln Parish Library
The Lincoln Parish Library is the parish-wide public library serving Ruston and the rest of Lincoln Parish, Louisiana, from a single main facility at 910 N Trenton Street. It circulates roughly 700,000 items a year from a collection of more than 160,000 volumes, and lends far beyond print — audiobooks on CD, DVDs and Blu-rays, children's learning tablets and Wi-Fi hotspots all check out with a library card. The building doubles as the Lincoln Parish Library & Events Center, whose multi-purpose auditorium seats up to 340 and is rented to the community for programs and events. Downloadable e-books and audiobooks come through the library's partnership in the Green Gold Library System (OverDrive/Libby), and every parish resident also reaches Louisiana's statewide databases through the Louisiana Library Connection.
