New Orleans Public Libraries
New Orleans, LA, United States
These five new public libraries replace branches that were destroyed or rendered uninhabitable by Hurricane Katrina. They are anchors of a fourteen-branch library system that is heavily utilized and valued by underserved populations within the city. From the outset, the design-build team considered this project as a collective of public amenities: a civic family of Libraries that respond to their immediate localities. Each Library acts communally within the framework of the NOPL system and individually in direct response to its surroundings. The libraries serve as community living rooms, providing a gathering space and informational resources for their neighborhoods. All five libraries share a common palette of simple building forms and materials—white stucco, charcoal brick and high-efficiency glazing with metal sunscreens—but the material articulation of each is conditionally unique in response to external and internal influences.
Four of the branches have been constructed: The New Orleans East Regional Branch Library, The Robert E. Smith Community Branch Library, The Norman Mayer District Library and The Algiers Regional Branch Library. They have been embraced by their patrons and enlivened by a vibrant array of community programs.
