They got a seed library where we can check out three packs of seeds every day it's smaller than the main library of course and there's another uptown library that's a little larger, but it's bigger than the Avar library that's near my house. I recommend visiting each branch and checking out what they have you can also get ebooks thru Libby app.

Lived here my entire life but for some reason never went to this library. So finally decided to…read morecheck it out yesterday. Such a unique library that fits NOLA. Beautiful library that used to be a residential home. Nice interior with mahogany staircase, a children's section, a small computer area, and some tables and chairs throughout. Not a big selection of books to choose from but it is still a nice library to enjoy some reading. Wish they had chairs on the porch to relax, read, and watch the streetcar go by.

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.

If the…read moreproperty is in the French Quarter the "HNOC" Historic New Orleans Collection's subsidiary, the Williams Research Center "WRC", has the most complete records.

If outside the Quarter go to the NO Public Library's property site:(http://www.neworleanspubliclibrary.org/~nopl/house2/intro.htm) II. WHERE CAN I RESEARCH MY CREOLE GENEALOGY? A. NO Public Library's site will give you basic birth and death records. B. WRC has more arcane information: i. Archdiocesan Records of religious rites ii. Civil War soldiers' records iii. French, British, Cuban and Spanish "in-country" directories of emigration (unfortunately you Romans and Prussians were too upheaveled!) iv. Cemetery Plot chronicles and marble photos if available v. Municipal Recorda, etc. III. HNOC IS THE PRIMARY ARCHIVE OF NEW ORLEANS CULTURE A. What you should know: i. WRC library is by appointment (504) 598-7171 ii. It's not a lending library, research only; but you can make copies iii. Go online (hnoc.org) to view the card catalog of all items iv. Holdings are primarily documents. However, it works collegially with local museums and repositories. Ask the WRC Library desk for the location of all pertinent resources.

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!

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.

As far as space usability, this place is on par with other universities. The book stacks are less. The technology is more present and the space is more welcoming of an evolving culture. There are spaces for gathering. Plenty of study rooms. The first floor is for conversations, traffic, groups and snacks at the coffee bar. It's a home away from home for graduate students. So yeah, we like it pretty well.

I'll admit, with the volume of material that a library has, it is understandable for a library to…read morebe a bit of a labyrinth, but navigation Howard Tilton for that molding book on Easter Island or African Diaspora is too much of an adventure for my taste. Their catalog is straightforward enough, but the book rows are all over the place and sometimes difficult to follow. Not to mention the fact that the majority of the stacks are in low-ceiling, basement like spaces, giving one the sense that they are in the opening ghost scene from "Ghostbusters." Also, for a library building, Howard Tilton is rather noisy. Of course, people will chitchat as they do, but the HVAC units are constantly roaring and the staircases echo like anything. If you get a couch seat on the third floor while the sun is still up, then I'll admit, it makes for a lovely reading space. Also... thank the good lord they put a PJ's coffee inside!
