The New Orleans Public Library is holding Block Parties — featuring “the most epic set of blocks you have ever seen” — on Monday evenings for children age 5 and younger along with their parents or other caregivers. The next one is the Central City Library in the Allie Mae Williams Multi-Service Center, 2020 Jackson Ave., on Monday July 31 from 5 to 6 p.m. The event is designed to promote early literacy.
