About meWe, the members of the Broadmoor Improvement Association, are using Library Thing to help us catalog books given to us by anonymous individuals from around the world, who are helping us restock our beloved local children's library, Rosa F. Keller Center and Library.
Keller Library is located in the center of New Orleans, Louisiana.
While the buildings were water damaged (and have been gutted and mold remediated), the contents of Keller Library were completely destroyed by hurricane Katrina. This includes a complete loss of the library collection.
If we don't do a private book drive and redo the library ourselves, as neighbors who live near the library, we will not get our beloved library back for nearly 10 years and the children (and adults) in our area will have no library for miles around.
To learn more about our situation and heroic citizen effort to bring back and restock our important library, please visit our website:

Please consider donating to our cause. We desperately need your help.
Thank you.

You'll find lots of third party references to us, including news coverage by the New York Times, Boston Globe, USA Today, Times Picayune, and others.
Sadly, our plight is real. So is the bizarre reality that citizens must renovate and restock our local public library.

Just a quick note to let you know that my new novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available. Thought you might be interested since you're from NOLA. I was born and raised in New Orleans, and the novel is actually set there. Here's a summary in case you're interested:
Set in the slums of New Orleans, among clusters of crack houses and abandoned buildings, Dirty Little Angels is the story of sixteen year old Hailey Trosclair. When the Trosclair family suffers a string of financial hardships and a miscarriage, Hailey finds herself looking to God to save her family. When her prayers go unanswered, Hailey puts her faith in Moses Watkins, a failed preacher and ex-con. Fascinated by Moses's lopsided view of religion, Hailey, and her brother Cyrus, begin spending time down at an abandoned bank that Moses plans to convert into a drive-through church. Gradually, though, Moses's twisted religious beliefs become increasingly more violent, and Hailey and Cyrus soon find themselves trapped in a world of danger and fear from which there may be no escape.
If you'd like to read the first chapter, you can read it here:
