Mardi Gras weekend



The Schiro Reading Room will be closed Saturday, February 14 – Tuesday, February 17, 2015.   For weekend hours of the main Howard-Tilton Memorial Library building, see the hours listing on the library web site.   Lundi Gras and Mardi Gras are Tulane University holidays.

To learn about New Orleans Carnival celebrations of the past, please visit the online Carnival Collection, featuring images of more than 5,500 original float and costume designs held in the Louisiana Research Collection.   The digitized collection ensures preservation of these colorful creative images, and provides open access across the world.   

Have a happy and safe Mardi Gras!
