REACH Center

The REACH Center is a new initiative from the New Orleans Public Library, featuring a free coworking space, and public art gallery, with a focus on access and opportunity.

The Center is located at the Corpus Christi-Epiphany Community Resource Center in the 7th Ward. The REACH Team also manages the African American Resource Collection (AARC), which is housed at the Main Library in the CBD. The AARC is a collection of reference and circulating non-fiction materials related to digital, financial, and health literacy and Black culture.
