I love the changes that were made to this library. I rarely go to the library but that may change…read moresome after experiencing the wonderful changes at this branch. 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!

In my opinion, I feel like this is the BEST Jefferson Parish library I've been to so far. Don't get…read moreme wrong, all of the JP libraries I've been to were still nice, but the Metairie location is so huge! It's two stories, very tidy, nice staff, multiple meeting rooms, and cool displays of both historical figures and modern entertainment. Outside tables, vending machines, a coffee machine, and a microwave are available right outside of the library for the public to use. Also, there's a book donation bin there that collects used books, DVDs, CDs, and Vinyls every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 am to 1 pm which I used for my 2026 New Year cleaning. Overall, a great and diverse public library in the Metairie area!

Suggestion to hold baby story time after work hours more (5 or 5:30) and not during regular nap times (usually 10/10:30 for babies!) And storytime on weekend days, for working parents.

They have a separate kids area fully packed with kitchen, puzzles, books, movies, computers, tables…read moreand chairs. Books for all ages. I bring my toddler here in the mornings and it's quiet and she loves playing with the kitchen and reading books. They have a bunch of computers and printers if that's what you're looking for. Getting a library card is easy and fast. They also have plenty of people in the library to help you find whatever book or category you're looking for. They do morning events for families, toddlers and big kids. Schedules are posted up front with times and dates. They have something for all ages which is good when you have three kids (one being a toddler and two being older) very friendly staff and plenty of parking. It's very peaceful here.

As a true bibliophile, libraries are some of my favorite places to get lost in. I can spend hours…read morebrowsing for and reading books. Luckily, the Slidell branch of the St. Tammany Parish Library is a really pleasant library that I feel so lucky to be able to use at my leisure. It is filled with natural sunlight thanks to the many floor to ceiling windows. It's large and there are countless tables to sit and study at a table and lots of comfy couches to sink into with the latest page turner. There are at least thirty computers here for you to use as well as copiers and fax machines. When you get a library card and use it to register for online access to the database you can then order, renew and place holds on a book or DVD that you'd like from the comfort of your own home. How cool is that? Of course, the summer reading program for children is always a fun and educational way to keep little ones entertained throughout the summer. It's always so nice and cool in the library in the scotching summer months. I realize that some people think libraries are dinosaurs these days with all of the advances in our modern times, but I would be very sad if I didn't have them around. Some days you just need to get lost in a book in the awesomeness that is the library. Try it sometime!

This gorgeous library is a converted mansion that sits atop a hill on Saint Charles Avenue - if…read morethat wasn't all you needed to be convinced. I've only been a member for a short while, but in my experience the Latter Library staff is exceptionally friendly, the space is quiet and well-maintained, the wifi is reliable, and the book selection is great - everything from new releases to cookbooks, audiobooks, and books about New Orleans history and culture. On the lower floor, the original mansion rooms are largely unconverted and left true-to-style - you can sit and read on antique upholstered chairs at large oak tables, or walk about and admire the chandeliers and ceiling frescos. On the upper floor, however, are all your modern amenities - more organized shelving, help desk, clean bathrooms, computer lab, etc. In this way, Latter Library strikes a balance between being contemporarily functional in the community and being a historical relic in the neighborhood. Would recommend popping by and checking it out!
