This spring, the Terrebonne Parish Library System invites the community to witness the beautiful transformation of butterflies as part of an engaging, educational program. Beginning in early March, all Terrebonne Parish Libraries will house living caterpillars in nets, allowing visitors to observe the incredible life cycle of a butterfly up close. 

The celebration culminates with the La Mariposa Butterfly Release and Picnic at the Main Library on April 12 at 11 a.m. This special event will feature a story time and an outdoor walking parade, where the butterflies that have grown in the library will be released into the community garden. 

Guests are encouraged to bring their own picnic lunch and enjoy a day of learning, nature, and fun. This event is free and open to the public. 

For additional dates and times of butterfly release events at other library locations, please visit the library’s calendar at mytpl.org or contact your favorite library branch. 

Join us in celebrating nature’s transformation—one butterfly at a time!
