Two New Orleans library branches will close temporarily this month ? one for renovation, the other for relocation, according to a memo released today from library director Charles Brown.

The Nix branch library on N. Carrollton Avenue will close Oct. 15 for painting, electrical, plastering, plumbing and other major maintenance work. No specific date is set for the reopening, but library staff was told it would be in "early 2017."

As Gambit reported in May, the Mid-City branch will be moving from the American Can Company on Orleans Avenue to the 1963 Automobile Life Insurance building at 4140 Canal Street.?
