Adams Park Library — Attraction in Atlanta

I was sad to discover that the library has such a small selection of books and most of them are older. I am a children's book illustrator and I used to love stopping into my local library (in Champaign, IL) to see what picture books the librarians were featuring and what new books had come in. When moving to a big city like Atlanta, I thought the library would be just as great but this one is nothing in comparison where the books are concerned. The library does allow you to request up to 15 books from other branches that you can pick up at your local branch which is okay, but I miss seeing new books that I would not normally have discovered because a librarian curated the displays. It's hard to browse on the online catalog. You have to type in an exact name or title. There's no room to discover something you didn't know you were looking for. I also found that many of the popular newer picture books that I was looking for are not even in the library system's collection, and it only lets you request one title a month to be added to the collection.

The library does have a large bay of computers and there is a wonderful librarian that will sit with you and help you complete whatever tasks you need if you need assistance.

I just wish that this branch was more than a computer lab with a few dusty, outdated books to keep up...

Showed up at 5:45 to print a document and the staff while preparing to go stated computers were shut down. A few were but more were still up and running. The library states it closes at 6pm .Yet at 15 minutes to the already not helpful staff are ready to go. The onsite manager is always dry and often rude. This is a library definitely need good customer service . Don't ask for help it's like your bothering them. Yet there's always two or three in the back room with the giggles. This is our community and we deserve a good experience at the library. Printer doesn't work half the time. I normally drive 40 minutes just to go to a decent library. No matter how long staff have been here DO BETTER . Big girl with the same tight jeans is employed why she doesn't hardly want to lift a finger on the computer let alone help with a book...

I wanted to vote early, but my location was not available for early voting. My coworkers said I would be able to vote early here. So I got off work at 2:30 and pulled up this location in my GPS and asked my ride to drop me off, thinking there would be a long line. But, Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow!!!, there was no line outside! My ride waited for me. My voting process was only 15 minutes. The polling people were friendly and professional and clean. So for anyone thinking they need to wait for the Norman Berry Drive recreation center site to open to vote, you don't have to wait. You can vote at the Adams Park Library Fulton...
