📖 About East New Orleans Regional Library

The East New Orleans Regional Library sits on Read Boulevard in the heart of New Orleans East, the sprawling section of the city that stretches out toward the wetlands and Lake Pontchartrain. As a regional branch rather than a small neighborhood outlet, it is built to serve a large residential population with a broad collection, meeting and program spaces, and public computers. New Orleans East was among the areas hardest hit by the flooding that followed Hurricane Katrina, and the library has functioned as an important recovery and support point for returning residents. It has hosted disaster-recovery and mobile-support services for the surrounding community. The branch is open Monday through Saturday and closed on Sundays.
