The Library at Lee Circle

Once the St. Patrick’s building was bought and the library forced to move, building began in earnest at Lee Circle to complete the new library as quickly as possible.  This new building would house the collections and be expanded for years to come.  Finally, in 1908 the doors to the Main library and the three branch libraries were opened.  Within the next 7 years, another 3 branches were opened around the New Orleans greater area.
