Image: The Nora Navra Library, originally called Branch Nine, opened in two temporary locations during 1946. Branch Nine and the 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 and a new one now stands in its place.
