In my opinion, I feel like this is the BEST Jefferson Parish library I've been to so far. Don't get…read moreme wrong, all of the JP libraries I've been to were still nice, but the Metairie location is so huge! 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!

Suggestion to hold baby story time after work hours more (5 or 5:30) and not during regular nap times (usually 10/10:30 for babies!) And storytime on weekend days, for working parents. Also, to have regular storytimes. Once I got used to the Thursday 5:30 one, it suddenly stopped?

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!

The adult side is roomy with plenty of room to add more shelving when needed. There is a large computer area with Internet access and free wi-fii available throughout the building. There are a pair of study rooms as well as a meeting room. As you suspect for a newly built public building it very handicapped accessible. It is a nice addition to the parish library system.

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.

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!
