I grew up visiting the Algiers Regional Library, so many memories of research assignments , reading…read moreclub meetings and using the computer for the very first time! This review and 5 star rating is my experience participating in the "Who Dun It?" Book Club. As the name implies the "Who Dun It?" Book Club is a murder mystery book club. We meet once a month (virtually) to discuss the selected book. It's hosted by the clever, funny, and calm- natured librarian, Shelby. I joined the book club in May 2021 to accomplish two goals 1) Read more 2) Meet new people. The "Who Dun It?" Book Club accomplishes both and so much more. Murder mystery is a new genre for me however the books selected have been interesting and the meetings attendees are fun, articulate, and well- read women and men with unique opinions. Intellectual, adult conversations for the WIN! I look forward to meeting with this group as we share our critiques of the selected reading and author. New members are always welcome! It's free to join and the books selected are usually available at several NOPL locations, or ebook for FREE! The virtual meetings occur every 3rd Thursday of the month. Hope to see you at the next meeting! http://events.nolalibrary.org/event/5006741

For #ThankYouThursday, I have to write a stellar review for the library. This is the library I use…read moremost often, and I love having its presence here in the neighborhood. Pre-COVID and during COVID, I could always rely on the library (and this branch) as a place to go to discover books and indulge my love for reading. They have a great selection of reading material, plenty of computers to use, and an incredibly pleasant and helpful staff. There are so many things to appreciate at the library from their cool programming (book clubs, crafting, etc.) to the free resources (webinars, books, audiobooks, magazines, etc.) to the physical space that is welcome and free for all to use! I've found my love for reading again during quarantine, and I've used the library to rent E-books and online magazines. I just checked out a physical book and had to call to set up a pickup time and the person on the phone was lovely and helped me set it up and answered questions. They keep expanding their options for everyone to use the library during COVID. Libraries are essential to our society and I have to thank them for so much! #ThankYouThursday

This Library has good parking, space inside, 15-20 computers to use, good DVD selection, a decent…read moreamount of books. 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.

Came here to early vote. Always a smooth process whenever I come. Library is located in a…read moreconvenient spot and everyone is always super helpful.

This is a smaller Jefferson Parish library compared to the one in Harvey & Metairie, but it's still…read morea pretty solid one. There's only two study rooms at this library, but everything is clean and neat. There's a good amount of desktop computers for you to use if you have a library card. Overall, a nice library in the Terrytown area!

I know this library at the "Terrytown Library". This is a small, but really nice neighborhood…read morelibrary. I used to come here a lot as a kid, and it has definitely improved since then. It was totally renovated after Hurricane Katrina and is a lot more "modern" than it used to be. This might not necessarily be the best library if you have to do any extensive research for a project, but it's a great library to bring kids, as they have a huge selection of things for children to do and learn.

Not the largest, but certainly one of the coolest, most historic libraries in the city. They do a…read moregreat job of hosting events of interest to the neighborhood, such as childrens' story time and author nights, complete with wine and appetizers. If you're not a resident of the neighborhood, Hubell Library is just one of many reasons to take the ferry to historic Algiers Point. Don't miss it!

A little library history... this is one of only 3 Carnegie libraries…read more(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnegie_library) still standing in New Orleans; the others are Nix on Carrollton and the Children's Resource Center on Napoleon. This is also one of the few NOPL libraries that didn't flood in K, but was still closed for several years because of roof/structural damage. This location is small but since the renovation (reopened 2013) it is a really efficient use of space. I love all the light that comes in through the windows. And that it is walking distance for many of the neighbors. The location is named after a library activist (don't you love them!) who ensured that the branch wasn't closed in the 1960s. Her family still maintains a separate website (from nutrias.org) for this location: http://www.hubbelllibrary.org/ While this is definitely not the closest public library for me, I usually try to make it over in December for their Christmas tree/wreath sale that benefits the library.

Despite being closed to the public for covid safety reasons, the librarians there are very nice and…read morehelpful! They printed and scanned a bunch of documents for me, no problem.

Even though this is one of the smaller locations it is still such an incredible hub for everything…read moremy son and I need. If they don't have what we're looking for of course we can request items to be delivered to this location. The staff here is always so attentive and helpful with anything that pops up and the extra activities for young and old never get boring! I feel so blessed that this beautiful place is one of my 13yr old kid's all time fave places to go!!

This tiny library is located across the side street of Douglass High School... formerly Nicholls…read more.. now probably named something else; Recovery School District, I can't keep up with you! I came by to see my friend perform at Alvar Arts, which is a series of "artists interacting with an interested audience", held every month on the third Thursday from October 2012-March 2013. This last time around was a mixture of reading poetry and a jazz vocal performance accompanied by piano and a giant steel drum bowl... it has a real name but for some reason, Googling giant metal drum bowl isn't giving me anything. There was wine! And cheese! Although the space is small, this location has a large children's reading area, and a mix of books, DVDs, and CDs. There is a cute little aquarium by the check-out desk. The staff was very nice. I can see this to be a nice place to sit and read or study if you were in the Bywater some daytime looking for an air-conditioned spot to relax.

Nice little library but the staff was rude to me because they were closing in five minutes and I…read morewas still browsing. Said they still had to "count the till and do other things" after I left. Boo hoo. I pay taxes.

This is a tiny, adorable branch of the New Orleans Public library System tucked in the point. While…read morethere are not a ton of books in this particular location, you can request any through the NOPL system on nutrias.org and they arrive here within days. Despite its size, this branch hosts a fair number of community events and is a great spot to sit for awhile either in doors or outside in their tiny garden
