NEW ORLEANS(WGNO) — There’s an abundance of citywide events taking place over the next couple of weeks to mark the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and Friday night the New Orleans Public Library will pay their dues.
Libraries acted as a communication hub during Katrina, a safe havens for those displaced or searching for their family members. Some learned their families were alive by using the computers at local libraries.
On Friday, the New Orleans Public Library’s main branch will kick off their Katrina 10 Film Festival with the screening of Spike Lee’s documentary, “When the Levees Broke” (acts one and two) at 5 p.m., the screen continuing Saturday at 11 a.m. acts 3 and 4.
On Monday, at the Norman Mayer Library there will be a 6 p.m. screening of “I’m Carolyn Parker: The Good, The Mad, and The Beautiful”. On Tuesday, the Algiers Regional Library will host the final screening “Getting Back To Abnormal” at 6 p.m.
All are free admission. For more information click, here.
