First Federal Bank of LA Dedicates Little Free Library

First Federal Bank of Louisiana honored the memory of longtime employee Marilyn Royer with the installation of a Little Free Library at the Bank’s Main Office, located at 1135 Lakeshore Drive in downtown Lake Charles. The dedication ceremony, attended by her family and coworkers, celebrated Marilyn’s passion for reading and her 27-year career at the bank.

Marilyn, who passed away in December 2024, was known for her love of books and could often be found reading in the parking lot during breaks. To commemorate her legacy, employees donated books to fill the Little Free Library, ensuring her love for reading continues to inspire others.

Joining First Federal Bank in 1997 as an accountant, Marilyn later transitioned to deposit account services before returning to the accounting department. In 2018, she was promoted to Reconciliation Coordinator, a role in which she was highly respected for her dedication and expertise.

Community members are welcome to take or leave a book in the Little Free Library, which is located on the east side of the Main Office’s parking lot.
