Take & Make Craft Kits
Pick up a craft kit for children to take and make at home. All Library locations have a limited number of craft kits containing an instruction sheet and items to create a craft. New crafts are available on the first Monday of each month. Additional supplies may be required and will be noted on the instruction sheet.
On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution was finally ratified, giving women the right to vote in federal elections. For August’s Take & Make, commemorate this historic event by creating and decorating your own National Women’s Party flag.

NOLA Readers 2.0
NOLA Readers 2.0 is a club for second graders who love to read. This year our activities center on the book Small Shoes, Great Strides: How Three Brave Girls Opened Doors to School Equality by Vaunda Micheaux Nelson.
There are two ways to participate:
Field Trips:
Participating second grade classes will take field trips to both the Louisiana Children’s Museum and New Orleans Public Library’s Main Library.
We’re currently accepting teacher signups. If you are an interested second grade teacher, fill out our interest form to book your free field trip.
At Home:
Check out Small Shoes, Great Strides from the Library. Then, print and download the activity book. Work together as a family to build reading and critical thinking skills.
