Join the Shreve Memorial Library and Cohab in celebration of Sunshine Week as they present "Wanted: Open Government."

If you're a fan of House of Cards, Scandal, The Newsroom, or The West Wing, this program is for you, says Shreve Memorial. Hear true stories of government transparency and accountability from your own community.

Panelists include Elliott Stonecipher (Evets Management, Inc.), Tom Arceneaux (Blanchard, Walker, O'Quin & Roberts), Alison Bath (The Shreveport Times), Danny Lawler (The Inquisitor), and Jeff Everson (City of Shreveport Council).

Panelists will discuss their perspectives and experience with public records and sunshine laws, followed by Q&A with the audience.
