Create your very own works of art and experience new ways to get ready to read. This early learning program is brought to you by the New Orleans Museum of Art. Reservations required.
Topic: What is a Museum?
The New Orleans Museum of Art and the New Orleans Public Library have partnered to bring together art and early literacy activities for this community program designed for children ages 2-5 years old and their caregivers. Inspired by NOMA's Mini Masters, an arts-integration program that provides visual arts experiences and museum interaction for preschool students, participants of Mini Masters at the Library will engage in hands-on art making activities and develop the early literacy skills needed to become ready to read.
Sponsored by the Friends of the New Orleans Public Library.
NOMA is grateful to the following donors for their support of the Mini Masters: The City of New Orleans, First Horizon, Janice Parmelee and Bill Hammack, Sara and David Kelso, Karen and Henry Coaxum, and The Patrick F. Taylor Foundation.

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.
