The original Doyline Branch of the Webster Parish Library was previously located inside of the local Doyline school system. In December of 1936, a new library in addition to the school library was opened in the Jenkins community located within the Town of Doyline but closed sometime before 1956.
During the summer of 1938 when the school was closed, the library was moved to the Cawthon store of Doyline for the summer.
In 1958, the Doyline Branch relocated to a new location that was owned by Pete Kalpakis of Minden. The location had asphalt tile flooring and air conditioning.
In March of 1980, a building was acquired by the Webster Parish Police Jury from the Cal-Packus estate with plans of renovation. Additional space within the structure was dedicated to the Town of Doyline to be used as a voting precinct. It was stated that the capability for the structure to be used to serve a dual purpose was one of the deciding factors in acquiring the facility.
In 1995, the building went through a major remodel and opened to the public in July of 1995. Several projects have been carried out throughout the years to maintain this location.
This branch offers a wide variety of materials and services such as books, magazines, blu-rays and DVDs, Wi-Fi, Laptops, Computers, Printers and Fax Machines, Wi-Fi hotspots, and much more. Call for more information and availability.
