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!

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!

I wish I had known about this library when I was in school, this would have been an ideal place to come spread out and study. I do love a nice quiet place to study. As mentioned in a previous review, they do have small study rooms to use, which I love. The librarians are friendly, and I have never had an issue with anyone here. You can request items from other branches to be picked up here, which is nice. The parking lot is on the small side, but this is a small branch of the library. I really like coming here.

I wouldn't say my expectations were particularly high as I entered the building. It's a library…read more It's small. It's in Jefferson Parish. There's really not much more to say about Wagner Library, except for one cool discovery that I made in here. This library has tiny rooms with a desk, outlets, and a door. Between these private, underutilized spaces and the free wifi, I thought, "Hey, I could make this into an office." And that's what I did. All was moving along swimmingly. I was Yelping, I was Facebooking. I was Tweeting. And then I realized my office was lacking one crucial detail. I needed an assistant to bring me lattes and things. So I looked around, found the meekest looking person in that joint (not hard. this *is* a library), and started barking orders. "Thelma!" (Actually, I'm not sure what my assistant's name was, but I'm writing the checks here, so I can call her what I want, right? Well, technically, I'm not writing checks. Thelma is doing more of an internship, but this internship will be *great* experience (with college credit!), so I don't feel obligated to get into semantic arguments with you on this, ok? So anyway...) "Thelma, go get me a grande non-fat soy chai latte with a half shot of espresso extra hot...Thelma, go get me some of those Zuckerberg-style business cards that say 'I'm CEO, bitch' on them...Thelma, order me a gold-plated placard that says 'Do not disturb. Yelping in progress.'...Thelma, go get me some sexy panties for my date with Sergio tonight." Thelma did not budge. And that's where my experience at the Wagner Library went sour. You really cannot find good help these days. I offered this woman a huge opportunity to further her career and guess what? Nothing. The library was fine, my office was nice, but do not go to Wagner Library hoping to find a decent assistant.

Best library on the Mississippi gulf coast. Bay St. Louis must have received an awesome grant…read morebecause their new building is very functional. It's a modern library with an open main room with plenty of places to study or read their excellent selection of magazines (they even have the quarterly journal of Mississippi history!). A great place for people without computers/internet access. They have around thirty Dell desktops in addition to free WiFi. My favorite touch is the restaurant~style booth seating on the side walls for those who like to spread their work all over the table. They also have plush comfy chairs for the lazy reader. Good for quick cat naps too!
