East Marietta Branch Library

This is a small library but good place to study, read a book, or online use.
They have free wifi which is a plus and it works great. There are 6 tables to sit at 2 on the left behind some book shelves and 4 to the right when coming in.
There isn’t all that many outlets to use there are two outlet towards the left of the library behind each table. Not easy to reach either your gonna have to get on hand and knees to reach. Each outlet has 2 output for 2 different plug ins. One other is to the right of the library. Each outlet is very hidden there are printed paper in sleeves that say outlets so you will know when you find one.
There is a top and a bottom to the library the bottom is for kids where they have many book reading and fun things for kids to do the top part of the library is the adult you can say where all the open tables are for your own work. There is a computer station in the middle of the library off to the right with 9 computers. You will need to have a library card to access these computer or you could ask the librarian and she could help you access it. There is a printer and a copier machine. To use the printer you will need to preload your library card to be able to print the copier you add coins. To print I think it’s 10 – 15 cents a page and also to copy.
Over all it get my job done and easy to find

My library is cooler than your library!
During a recent visit to this location, I noticed a new display by the front door. A turntable has been set up with a pair of headphones. Next to that, there was a stack of LPs and 2 seperate LPs that were stood up next to a sign that asked patrons to pick their favorite album of the day. On this day, «Nina Simone Sings Billie Holiday» was pitted against a Sun Ra album. How cool is this idea? I didn’t listen to either of the albums being put to a vote (didn’t need to listen in order to know that I’d pick Nina Simone), but I did grab Prince’s «1999» out of the stack. I can now say that I have listened to «D.M.S.R.» at a Cobb County public library.

I been doing research to see which GMAT books are the best. It’s a pain because they’re so many that you don’t want to spend money buying each and everyone. I figure the best thing to do is «check it out» at the nearest library.
I’m ashamed to admit this but it’s been ages since I’ve gone to a public library. This location is average in size, so call to make sure they have what you’re looking for. I’m very impress with the librarians that work here. They’re patience and kind enough to answer all my questions. One time, they were minutes from closing but they were still nice enough to renew a book for me.

Two stars might be harsh for a library but…“meh, I’ve experienced better” fits it quite well. After basically spending my childhood at Mountain View Library, this pales in comparison.
One thing that struck me was how pitifully small this place is; the parking lot is probably three times the size of the library itself, but the number of cars never ever number past 20, maybe save for voting day.
There is only one outlet towards the front, which can be a pain if lots of people are around. There is free library wifi if you bring your laptop… but again, there is only one available outlet… During busy hours all the computers are taken, and you have to reserve it by using your library card number and pin. I think the limit is 30 minutes?
There is a small rack at the front with a mediocre selection of old favorites, esocteric tomes, a few recent releases, documentaries, and misc. other videos.
Truthfully, the selection here is extremely diverse but never in-​depth. You will always find the few leading tomes of each topic, but not much more than that. Downstairs of the main floor houses the children’s section and there is also an activity room which I remember using it for robotics, back in the day.
I didn’t like this library that much and with the reduced hours set in place (awful, how can you do this?) I find that studying in noisy coffeeshops are more appealing than here.

Not my favorite library in the metro atlanta area but its alright. Never too crowded. Not smelly, Not dirty. Librarians are helpful and always greet me at the door. Not the widest selection of books. Like I’m done reading Harry Potter but they don’t even have all 7 books here. shame. Wifi of course. I’ll be back because they are the closest library to my bfs and because there is a Brusters, Zaxbys, and Tennis Court within a stone’s throw.

I’ve been coming here longer than I can remember, though at the same time I never remember finding what I wanted here. You run a search on whatever book you need and 8 times out of 10 they’ll tell you you need to drive down to the Central location, right off the square.
The archives here are pretty small compared to most other libraries I’ve been to. They do have a pretty extensive children’s section though— it’s actually almost the same size as the adult’s.
So if you’re between 4 and 10 and reading this, you should make East Marietta Library your new spot. Or if you still have a low reading level. Or if you just like the pictures. Get.
You could also probably drop in here just to use the internet, since it’s less trafficked than most others.
