Show Notes
Sam LeBlanc, New Orleans Public Librarys new facilities administrator, faces a daunting task: managing repairs and renovations across multiple branches, including the Norman Mayer, East Regional, and Childrens Resource Center, which are closed for over $4 million worth of upgrades. LeBlanc must keep branches open, handle day-to-day fixes, and speed up stalled projects, all while dealing with city bureaucracy and the impact on active borrowers who rely on libraries for SNAP help, IDs, and learning programs. The Main Library downtown recently closed due to water main issues, but LeBlancs team remains optimistic and works closely with officials to provide a solid timeline for reopening.
