School Library Journal

The group that started the hubbub over in Lafayette Parish is called Citizens for a New Louisiana. And I know the players. And I had been monitoring who’s involved in all of this.

I can understand why someone would try to duplicate what they are doing at Citizens but alas, that's a trap. They make it look easy. It isn't.

Lunsford and CNL have had an outsize influence on Louisiana libraries.

I’m very well aware and appreciative of the work [of Citizens for a New Louisiana]

The success we're seeing in Lafayette Parish would not be possible without vital organizations like Citizens for a New Louisiana.
