Civics 504 provides useful context for state laws on voting and registration, statewide and local candidate lists, and plain-language explanations of ballot propositions.
This election season, journalists with Verite News are holding office hours in community gathering spots to engage New Orleanians on the topic of democracy. They'll be handing out copies of their “Civics 504” voter guide and answering your questions about elections and how local journalists cover these issues.

Nora Navra Library, originally called Branch Nine, opened in two temporary locations during 1946. The original permanent 2,500-square-foot building, located at 1902 St. Bernard Avenue, was dedicated as the Nora Navra Library on May 2, 1954. Branch Nine and Nora Navra Library served the people of the Seventh Ward continuously for 69 years until it was destroyed by the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The destroyed building was demolished in 2017, and construction began on a new one. The celebration of the new 7,800 square foot building, held on Friday, August 24 and Saturday, August 25, 2018, marked the official reopening of all six of the Libraries that were damaged beyond repair by Hurricane Katrina.
