The Vernon Parish Library offers a variety of materials and services. Of course, there are lots of reading materials, but they also offer summer reading programs and occasionally free concerts and other entertainment. Billed as "The People's University", the Vernon Parish Library has three branches plus a traveling bookmobile.

In addition to books and magazines, both printed and recorded, the library has a large collection of movies, video games, and even fishing tackle. Fax and photocopier services are available and users can access the internet from one of several computer stations.

Huey Long once wrote: "In my opinion, there is nothing that can greater serve the cause of convenience, happiness and uplift of a community than a public library. It places within reach of every child, as well as older people, the literature which enables them to be informed, and through which they may entertain themselves more delightfully, and to aid their mental and spiritual development. If I had only a small amount of money to spend on public improvements, I would put it all in a library."
