If you want to see our upcoming videos when we post them:

A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be.

The only thing that you have that nobody else has is yourself. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.

Big Announcement!

NEW LIBRARY WEBSITE!
NEW CAREER CENTER WEBSITE!

The East Baton Rouge Parish Library has launched a new version of its website.
The new www.ebrpl.com is mobile-friendly and ADA-compliant, with improved search functions and navigation features.

As part of this change, the Career Center’s website has been enfolded into the library’s website. If you visit our old website, careercenterbr.com, it will redirect you to our new site at www.ebrpl.com/departments/career-center.

Our new website is still a treasure trove of hundreds of job-search and career-planning resources - but we have a new look now. Please check it out, and call us at 225-231-3733 if you have any questions, comments or concerns.
