Libraries are the quintessential needs of society, taxes going here have an exponential ROI for society and the future youth of knowledge and progress. Everyone should keep their libraries alive. As for this particular library, it is teeming with resources, helpful staff and anything you can think of with books, multimedia, research and more. A true gem in DeKalb county.
One of the nicest libraries I've visited, very clean, large selection of books, cds, dvds, audiobooks, and acess to things like computers, references, periodicals, and microfilm. The staff were very helpful and welcoming
Love this branch, spacious with little wait time to use a computer.
If you have to go through an empty-your-pockets, take-off-your-belt security screening to get into the local public library, as I had to do here, you're not in a good part of town.
Lock down.. airport search.. with bags.. security at back of park ing area now 😐 …
Fun and friendly, great atmosphere, helpful staff
To enter you need to pass a metal detector like an airport. They check your bags. It's a bit annoying. There are often homeless people hanging around the bathroom. It's annoying to enter and you can sometimes feel unsafe. But the library is nice. Lots of parking.
We love the storytime and children's library! The staff is amazing! And we always find great books!
Seeing security at every entrance was jarring. Apparently they had an incident a little while back. What a shame.
Always a nice place to be. Staff are always kind and willing to assist
Why it matters
Go with a question.
Places like this are more than coordinates. They are where ideas become decisions, where communities keep memory, and where the words in a textbook become a room you can stand inside.
