What a great little library branch! I was looking for a particular book and checked the library…read morewebsite to find it. Luckily the mid city branch had it on the shelf. I zipped over, and am so happy I did. Not only did they have the book, the wonderful librarians told me about the summer reading program - for adults and children, and about so many other programs available to New Orleans residents. Do yourself a favor and check out the library benefits. You'll be amazed. About the branch itself: dedicated parking lot, easy to find on Canal, extremely helpful staff.

I went to the bath bomb and sugar scrub class and it was awesome. While there weren't a lot of us there, the few people there made it feel very welcoming and comfortable. Every second Monday of the month, at the Westbank branch, you can get free notary services but it is on a first come first serve basis and she's only there for an hour 9am-10am. The notary public is very nice and she says this is her way of giving back to the community. Kudos to her!! I prefer the Napoleon branch because it's much bigger and more spacious with many more study rooms and places to sit. However, both branches have friendly staff. Meeting rooms are available for free with ample notice. So, check them out for monthly activities because lately they've been hosting a plethora of them. They also have card games but Spades isn't one lol.

There are chairs here and there, to sit and read.. they do have daily newspapers, too. The staff is super helpful, and friendly. The one issue I have isn't specific to this branch. The Jefferson Parish website is difficult to plow through. I can't go to a tab "best selling books 2016", or "Oscar nominated movies 2021". Needs work to be user friendly.

This place is really a disaster. It seems like a great freebee no hassle library at first. I was…read moreexcited to try it out and see how much work I could get done in a weekend. The staff is decent and the library is spacious. Unfortunately, and this is where the bulk of my issue stems from, the public schools that let out here ruin the library. I don't know why, but the students that use this place are horribly disrespectful and grotesque like they have no manners. It's really a shame that such a nice resource is ruined by churlish brats. Maybe come on weekday morning to peruse the book titles. But don't stay past 1:00 because You Will Regret It!!

I attend a conversational Spanish circle on Wednesdays from 6-7. It's very informal and very helpful for me since I want to practice my Spanish on a regular basis. They also offer a conversational French session on Tuesday nights. The librarian was eager to help me, and she showed me how to navigate their website to use online resources for FREE! I love supporting my local libraries because they are such a great resource to the community and cater to a variety of interests. Notes: They have nice lounge chairs sit and work in or to read in. Large enough parking lot. The bathroom is kept tidy!

There is a children's department with an area called the Lakeshore Cove. It has a replica of a six-foot alligator that kids can sit in and play learning games on the built-in video screen. The Lakeshore Cove also has a Smart Table. It is an interactive learning-style console that is really cool. Gone are the days of the Dewey Decimal system that most of us grew up with at our libraries. This library (like many others nationwide) switched over to the BISAC cataloging system which is what you see at your bookstores. No more numbers just categories. The interior has lots of comfy chairs and areas that encourage you to stay there longer than planned. Overall, a wonderful library that is very updated with lots of 21st century amenities and a great children's area. Love the look of the exterior now too!

We'll try to come for their different activities as well.

They do have a story time during the week for the kidlets. Parking is difficult, and I have noticed the ticket ladies in front stalking the area for the slightest of parking infractions, and ticketing people. I would suggest that if you can not find parking in the super small parking lot, not to park in front, but on one of the side streets. During tax season, there are volunteers from AARP doing income taxes twice a week through VITA, a volunteer tax preparation service for low income people. They are not employees of the library, the library can not force them to work, or accept any ones tax return to prepare. They get overwhelmed during the tax season, so be nice to them, they are not paid at all. The employees who work for the actual library are nice for the most part. Come and check this library out if you live in the area. You can check out books if you live in the Orleans parish or the neighboring parishes.

Thought I would post a review since there is only one here from almost a decade ago which is very negative. There were 2 kids playing and it was welcomed by the staff.
