New Orleans Public Library Expands

Alex Woodward on the rapid growth of the NOPL. Can funding meet the demand?
??”Libraries are no longer, and should no longer, be thought of just going to pick up your books and leaving,” Styons says. “There’s still a heavy research component — assisting students with work for school — but also people want to be able to lounge with their laptop or smartphone. Things need to be mobile in the library. We know that’s the direction we want to move in. … We try to stay a little ahead of the trend, but in New Orleans we’re catching up.”
