Barksdale Library

The Barksdale Library is a bright light in the Shreveport Bossier community. It serves as an information super source, taking care of students, military members and families by providing resources for education, career development, self-help or recreational reading. The Library not only has an excellent assortment of materials, but also partners with other libraries in a consortium, ensuring that even hard-to-find items can be available. They host a number of programs and events for all ages that are based around reading and mental stimulation.
