Alli Villines and Charissa Hoffman push the limits of what is generally expected from the four-stringed ukulele, incorporating threads from their stories and experiences into a tapestry of sound.
In partnership with McNeese Banners, the library will host this melodic program. Both women trace the roots of their relationship with the ukulele, traditionally a Hawaiian instrument, through their connections to their families, their southern home states and communities, themselves, and eventually each other.
Located in South Lake Charles, this is the library system's main branch, housing both the library and administrative offices. Services include laptop checkouts, self-checkout stations, faxing, scanning, printing, study rooms, community rooms, and a creative space.
