This is actually the children's resource center of the New Orleans public library system…read more Parking can get tricky sometimes as it's just find what you can on the street. The location has children's books as well as a few computers. It's pretty small inside but useful for me who requests that books be sent from other library locations to this one (closer to my house).

Amazing staff. I found them to be so warm and inviting. I can't remember the lady's name who helped…read moreme and my baby get our library cards but she was so damn nice. The library appears to be mostly for kids and youth though I didn't venture the entire facility. They have already two large carpeted areas for kids to hang out and read. They have an extensive selection of books for all age children. Everything was organized and clean. Even the toys were organized in bins and then further separated by clean and used toys (post COVID protocol). My daughter and I had a cool time visiting and will definitely be back for their story time which we missed the day of our visit.

There's a play room for kids to be a kid. Very nice and kid friendly. The staff can be a bit unresponsive at times which is why I give it four but overall my kid enjoys his times here. There's toys , andbwal activities to keep the Lil one occupied. Very very nice . I can read my book and he can go kid crazy without disturbing anyone.

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.

This place is a gorgeous bit of mid century architecture. I love libraries, plain and simple but I…read morego out of my way to spend time here. 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!

It's located inside one of Chalmette High School's extended campus…read morebuildings on the north side of Judge Perez Dr. There's a driveway near the main door where you can drop people off, but you're supposed to park in the lot behind the building (off Palmisano). I wish they had like a drive-up - or nearly drive-up - book return like a number of libraries do. Anyway, other than that, it's a good little library. It has a surprisingly decent selection of books and the librarians are friendly. And there's one big "secret" everyone should take advantage of: St. Bernard resident/library card holders automatically qualify for an Orleans Parish library card too! You have to go to a New Orleans branch to get one, but it's well worth it.

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.
