    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!

    Great little library magazines, downstairs adult fiction and non-fiction upstairs great air…read moreair-condition study rooms. 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.

    This is my local library, well there are three, but I prefer this one as it was there for me when I…read morefirst came to the bayou. I have always been a library person, I have fond memories of my local libraries in Southern California. When I first moved to old Gretna in 2005 I used the libraries there and after Katrina, I sought out the library here. It was initially located in a run down looking library not far from the new building now. I borrowed movies, borrowed books for me and my young son, attended their events and when they built a new library I followed them there. They have a wide selection of movies, a vast number of computers, a teen section and children's' area and computers for the young ones. The staff is great and it seems funny to realize that I have know them all for 7 years now. They have displayed art from local artists and had art competitions, there's a little area in the lobby that has books and mags for sale, the meeting room is a good size and can be booked for your needs ( i used this to recruit people for Census work :)) They have a new Librarian now, Jasmine...she rocks...not sure what happen to that other one she was kinda scary...told me once that if I ever walked off without paying for copies (i never actually took them I just forgot)...I wouldn't be allowed to use the computers again...really? ok...she's gone anyway....I love my library and will teach my young one to love it too.....when's the last time you went to the Library? I think i hear it calling your name......

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
