Last week, the Summer Reading Program came to a close with a visit from Ariane Trammell, author and illustrator from Southern Louisiana. Trammell brings to life some of Louisiana’s most well known wildlife with hilarious stories and beautiful illustrations in her books about crazy crawfish and pet alligators, just to name a few.






Last week, the Summer Reading Program came to a close with a visit from Ariane Trammell, author and illustrator from Southern Louisiana.
Trammell brings to life some of Louisiana’s most well known wildlife with hilarious stories and beautiful illustrations in her books about crazy crawfish and pet alligators, just to name a few. During the program, Trammell read three of her own books to the kids, complete with a Cajun accent. She then showed the kids how to draw some of the illustrations from her books, including a huge bullfrog.
For the month of June, all Friday programs and special entertainers were provided in collaboration with the McKinney Vento’s Federal Grant through the LaSalle Parish School Board.
The Summer Reading Program was a huge success, as each library location saw hundreds of families engage in reading, listening, illustrating, creating and lots of laughs.
