Welcome to the Lafayette Satellite Library information page. The library is located on the fifth floor of the new federal courthouse in Lafayette, Louisiana. The library has two walls of windows that allows natural light to accent the reading/study area. Movable shelving was installed for our federal and state materials to provide the most efficent use of space. A public access computer is available for research that includes the Web, Wordperfect, Lexis-Nexis, and Westlaw (your own id must be entered). The library is open to the public Monday -Friday 8:00 to 12:00 and 1:00 to 4:30. The library collections at the Opelousas and Lake Charles Courthouses are also maintained by the Lafayette librarian.
