East New Orleans Regional Library
East New Orleans Regional Library will temporarily close beginning on Monday, February 2, to repair the roof and replace the HVAC.
This is part of a long-awaited Capital Project to repair critical systems that keep Library staff and patrons comfortable during New Orleans’ fluctuating temperatures. The Library anticipates a reopening in three months, after which we will move onto another location’s repairs.
Existing holds are available for pickup through Friday, January 30. If you would prefer to pick up your holds at a different location, you can change your preferences by logging into your Library account or calling any location. Library materials may not be returned to East New Orleans Regional Library during this closure. Materials can be returned to any other Library location.
Children’s Resource Center Library
The Children’s Resource Center Library closed on May 12, 2025, for a significant renovation and will reopen as a dedicated center for early literacy.
Renovations are expected to be completed by summer 2026. During the closure, the Children’s Resource Center Library will not be available for holds pick-up or returns. The book drop will be closed.
The closest Library locations are Central City Library (2020 Jackson Avenue, Suite 139) and Nix Library (1401 S. Carrollton Avenue).
Norman Mayer Library
March 4 update: Last week, the HVAC system at Norman Mayer Library failed, prompting us to move forward repairs already planned for this location as part of our citywide roofing and HVAC replacement project. Rather than pursue a temporary fix, we made the decision to move forward with the full scope of improvements now. The Library will remain closed until a new HVAC is installed and the roof is replaced.
This is part of a long-awaited Capital Project to repair critical systems that keep Library staff and patrons comfortable during New Orleans’ fluctuating temperatures. The Library anticipates a reopening in approximately three months, after which we will move onto another location’s repairs.
Existing holds will be available for pickup at Nora Navra Library (1802 St. Bernard Avenue). If you have holds to pick up, dates have been extended. If you would prefer to pick up your holds at a different location, you can change your preferences by logging into your Library account or calling any location. Library materials may not be returned to Norman Mayer Library during this closure. Materials can be returned to any other Library location.
February 26: Norman Mayer Library is closed due to HVAC issues.
