Beautiful public library. Such a unique location, feels very welcoming. There's plenty of sitting areas for reading! The power outlets can be hard to reach but there's some in each room. Great place for quiet study or to get some work done.
Favorite library in New Orleans! The book sale in the carriage house is the best — open on Wednesday’s, Thursday’s, and Saturday’s.
This branch just opened after a remodel all summer to my knowledge. The grounds and outside look fantastic. I was never inside prior to the remodel, so I'm just commenting how it looks now. The front has a bike rack, and there is a big porch, but I didn't see any benches or chairs. When you walk in there are 2 sitting rooms to read in, and some newspapers also. They have ceiling paintings with beautiful chandeliers, and couch and chairs. Old fashioned parlor feel. Love that. There is a front desk where I got my Orleans Parish library card from Michael, a very friendly and helpful guy who told me some stuff about the library system. There is a side room also for reading, using a laptop, writing, whatever...a few long tables and comfortable chairs. Went up to 2nd floor via an old wood staircase that just impressed me. The staircase, not the 2nd floor. Upstairs has some book cases, and DVD and CD'S and books. Not really alot here, but it's a small branch. Computer room, some more chairs. Overall, it's a cool place to read. You can get things here, but not a huge selection. They DO take book donations, and sell books, so there's that. But, it IS a beautiful property.
Lovely and unique library with helpful staff! Plenty of places to read inside and outside.
This branch of the library is lovely. The building is an old mansion, which is large in terms of houses but perhaps small in terms of libraries. While this means the selection is smaller for what's immediately on hand the second you walk in the door, it's one of several locations, and you have access to anything in the New Orleans Public Library system. Their website is great, so you can easily look for what items are available and where if you want to be sure you get what you're looking for. The reading rooms downstairs are lovely see photos. I attended a wine and coloring event and it was well-organized, well-supplied with FREE wine, cheese, and coloring supplies!, and a very pleasant way to spend the evening. The grounds around the library are also appealing; they're well maintained, there are some small garden-like portions, and it has an overall peaceful vibe. It would be nice to see more seating outside, particularly in the grassy and garden-like spaces.
Absolutely beautiful library, nice workers, great lawn outside.
The interior of this branch is amazing!!!! Very peaceful feeling as soon as you walk through the main door. Makes you feel like just grabbing a book from the shelves and finding a chair in one of the small reading rooms they have, and just relaxing and reading a book!!!!
I love the book sale at the carriage house! They're so wonderful there. I haven't been into the library since covid started because you have to call and make an appointment to go in, even if you just want to pick up a book that you ordered online. I think that there should be an easier way to handle book pickups if you're not actually going to look at the library..
Beautiful building, and despite the somewhat small book/movie selection, the friendly and helpful staff has made this one of my favorite libraries in the area
It’s my go-to library,but then again,they are all my main libraries.
