I always found everything I needed here and although I remember the staff being a little "out of it" when it came to finding certain periodicals, for the most part this place got the job done.

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. Large enough parking lot. The bathroom is kept tidy!

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

However, it works collegially with local museums and repositories. Ask the WRC Library desk for the location of all pertinent resources.

This library has as many aliases as a true southerner. Its government name is John & Bonnie Boyd…read moreHospitality & Culinary Library but, like many southerners, it's known by a host of nicknames. These include the Boyd Library, the Southern Food & Beverage Culinary Library & Archive (SoFAB) and the SoFAB Institute. I think SoFAB is a fitting name for a library filled wall-to-wall with nothing but cookbooks. As the name suggests, it is uniquely dedicated to preserving the culinary history of the American South. I recently visited to browse the 10,000+ titles in their collection. The library looks like any other house in Central City but inside it's as if they moved all the furniture out and replaced it with shelves and shelves of books. I was almost overwhelmed by their selection of vintage cookbooks, spiral-bound community cookbooks, personal recipe collections of celebrated southern chefs & authors and restaurant menus. They house the blueprints of southern cuisine in all its diversity. Here are a few things to know before your visit: ---The building is less than a block away from the Southern Food and Beverage Museum. There's no parking lot but on-street parking is easy to find either on Oretha Castle Haley or a side street. I ended up on Terpsichore near the NOPD Station. ---Although the library isn't an official branch of the New Orleans Public Library, you can search for titles using the NOPL online catalog. (http://catalog.nolalibrary.org/polaris/default.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.1) Look for titles designated as part of the SoFAB Culinary Collection. ---This is a research library so you can't check out any of the materials. That said, they do have a small inkjet printer for making copies. (They recommend taking photos using a camera or phone since it's faster and free.) Access to wifi is also available. --The library depends on the support and book donations from the public and community partners. I was disappointed to see the limited selection of African-American cookbooks until I remembered this fact. SoFAB can't display what hasn't been donated. ---When they get multiples of the same book, they often sell the extras in the nearby SoFAB Museum gift shop. I purchased a handful of cookbooks; each one was in good condition and cheaper than prices at a used bookstore. Thanks to Kelsey and Cindy for helping me locate specific books within the collection. SoFAB is off the beaten path in New Orleans but it's a great place for bibliophiles and food lovers to explore delicious reads.
