This library is popular & could use more local investment (more computers & materials) because it is a great service to the Peoria community and family friendly. You can always reserve books & movies online or by request from other libraries to pick up here as well. Useful for my son's report. The children's librarian goes above and beyond.

What a lovely little library on Historic Route 66! The library itself is a wonderful place for…read morelocal Mother Road information, but the pride and joy of the Atlanta Public Library & Museum is the clock tower. It is a 40-foot tall stone tower with a working Seth Thomas clock from the first decade of the 20th Century. It works on one winding for 8 days. One of the highlights of a Route 66 Motor Tour was being on site and at the clock one Sunday afternoon when it was time to wind the clock. Atlanta, Illinois, is worth a stop to see the Route 66 attractions.

I'm 5'4", and only reached Paul's knees! Took a few photos, and then set out for lunch. We had hoped to grab a quick lunch in Atlanta, Illinois, where the statue is located - but the cafe across from the statue was closed on a Friday in May around noon. We were able to get a soda (no diet sodas available) and Gatorade at the bakery next door (Misty's?). We ate a few abacus with our drinks at a picnic table next to a memorabilia shop that us currently for sale across from the statue. Looks like a cool place. Sorry it wasn't open. There is also an inviting souvenir shop next to the statue but we didn't visit.

Nice library in a convenient area to shop or do grocery shopping…read more Study rooms are available with no time limit. Lots of DVD selections. You can rent board games. The library sits on the second floor with lots of windows and natural lighting. Can play video games in the teen section. Clean bathrooms. Friendly staff. Make yourself a coffee for $1 on the first floor. The only thing is that the study rooms have no blinds or curtains, so it was pretty bright. It is hard to see if you're using a laptop because the light reflects the screen a lot. A good thing is that each room has an air filter which keeps the room cool and fresh.

Gone are the days of library voices and everyone, including staff staff carry on conversations in their regular voices and there is no inside "library" voices used on the various times I have been there. Director Genna replied to my post on google and I cant reply so I am doing so here. There are quiet/study rooms with doors, but unfortunately its so loud that you can hear everything as if the conversation is happening in the study room. Since when is a library a gathering place for conversation outside of the kids area or behind closed doors. Would not recommend for a quiet place. Staff are almost always the loudest and voices are not even kept softly.
