Are you frightened by things that go bump in the

night? Worry about things that make you shiver

with fright? Then you may want to skip over this

wonderful evening of Halloween scares and find something else to do. Your Iberia Parish Library

and the Shadows-on-the-Teche are excited to

announce “Terror-on-the-Teche”. Tickets are

$5 (non-refundable) and will go on sale on

Monday, October 1 and will be available at the

This year, “Terror-on-the-Teche” will undergo a

change. The evening will begin with family-

friendly tales performed by the master storyteller Sherry T. Broussard from Lafayette, Louisiana.

However, unlike previous years, as the time gets later and the night darker…the

stories will get scarier. Children of all ages are invited to attend, however, the faint of heart can leave at any point that they wish (the first hour will be family friendly).

Costumes are welcome, chairs, blankets and mosquito repellant are encouraged. *Incase of rain, Terror will be held at the Main Library.

This event is sponsored by The Friends of the Library, The-Shadows-on-the-Teche and your Iberia Parish Library.

Exploring Galveztown An Eighteenth-Century Spanish Colonial Outpost

The Iberia Parish Library will be celebrating Archaeology Month with a second lecture from

Dr. Rob Mann with Louisiana State University on Wednesday, October 24 starting at 6:30 p.m.

at the Parkview Library. A short meeting of the

friends will precede the lecture. Between 2008

and 2011 Louisiana State University’s Regional

Archaeology Program and Department of Geography and Anthropology conducted archaeological investigations at the site of Galveztown, an eighteenth-century Spanish colonial outpost in present-

day Ascension Parish, Louisiana. Galveztown was the site of a Spanish military fort and a village inhabited primarily by Isleño colonists from the

Canary Islands. The site was occupied from ca. 1779-1825.

In this presentation Dr. Mann will discuss the research questions behind the

project, the fieldwork undertaken at the site, and some of their intriguing

findings to date. To register, please call the Main Library at 364.7024.

Tuesday, October 23 6:30 p.m. Main Library

This month, the library will be

showing a classical movie that plays perfectly into the Halloween spirit. Something Wicked This Way Comes

will be shown at the Main Library on Tuesday, October 23 starting at

6:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. So make sure to grab your

flashlight for this dark feature. Please register by calling the

Main Library at 364.7024.

Ages 12 and older only.
