Crowded conditions in Jefferson Parish Library in Gretna. It's countdown time at Jefferson Parish library headquarters. Librarians are counting the days until the operation is moved from its site on Second street in Gretna to N. Causeway boulevard and 13th street in Metairie. Tentative date is June 25. The 30,000-square-foot building is designed to meet the parish's rapid population growth as well as anticipate future needs.
