WHERE'S THE RESPECT?…read more I love libraries but more than anything I really respect libraries so I was absolutely shocked when I first saw this library and how neglected it is. The outside is a very dated structure and it was absolutely filthy! What an embarrassment to the community. This is their main library with "Headquarters" clearly printed on the sign. I was at a loss for words because I just believe that public buildings should be maintained in a respectable condition, (grounds included). Obviously we have great libraries in North Fulton County so we ended up at this library for a very specific reason. My husband who does genealogy needed a specific book that could only be located here and in Knoxville. Since this location is closer, we came here. In order to have access to books here, you will need a PINES (Public Information Network for Electronic Services) card which provides access to 284 libraries, in 53 library systems covering 143 counties (53 of the 63 library systems in Georgia). Materials can be delivered to your home library free of charge and alll residents of Georgia are eligible for this card. My husband needed to get a Clayton County library card in order to get the PINES card (which was a relatively easy process, all you need is a photo ID), and was then able to make the necessary copies he needed. This was a very busy library. I was surprised at the number of people actually using the library today, especially with the beautiful weather we are having. The library is a large open structure that has everything located on the main level. They did not appear to have study rooms or private enclosed areas, (even the bathrooms had disturbing signs and outside locks). It was definitely a different experience and one that made me appreciate my home library even more. * The staff member who assisted us today was top-notch and very much appreciated. ***The real annoyance occurred when my husband discovered that the rare book that he needed had been intentionally damaged. The entire first chapter had been removed. It was a very smooth process as if someone had used an X-acto knife. SMH!

At 5:45pm today, Wednesday October 19, 2022, as I was driving using my phone via car speaker. I thought to myself where could I find CURRENT and ACCURATE information regarding my early voting locations. Immediately my first thought was just Google it! Immediately Jesus told me not to because I was driving! So, I called up my local library yes... I knew the time was pressing but surely someone there would definitely be able to assist me. Low and behold I was sadly mistaken. When I asked if she knew of any places for early voting her first answer was NO! OMGoodness I thought! My mouth is so quick I said ma'am ( black lady) aren't this the library-I'm driving is there anyway you could help me, search Google or whatever. She placed me in hold then said oh yes the building across the street Merle Manders are doing early voting but they closed at 5:00pm. I couldn't believe it! I asked her for number and she gave it to me. I attempted to call and no answer-shoot forget it ( like most of us would say) Ugghh. I got home checked my mail and guess what- remember all those mailers that we sometimes don't read ? GUESS what was there? Yes you're right! Merle Manders was on the list! 8a-7p. SMH Guess who voted tonight! Yep! I did!! For any manager that is reading this please update your team! I waisted 24 minutes of my time due to lack of knowledge from the library staff! Peace!

It's very large! There's a plethora of spaces for adults to sit and read or study. I look forward to returning!

The Forest Park branch library is the newest of the Clayton County libraries. Opening in 2012, the facility houses a state of the art meeting room and computer lab, public access computers equipped with the latest productivity software, comfortable seating for reading and studying, and a dedicated teen area. Plenty of computers, books, and tables with outlets for phones and charger outlets. As well as a lot of comfy seats to just relax in. You will indeed get the normal teenagers every so often, but if they decide to be loud at all it's never inside. Friendly and helpful employees. Ample free parking available in front of the building. Overall a great experience being at a library afer a long time.

Visited 2 April 2026…read more I had a great experience at the library. I wanted to use the computer and print and that's exactly what I was a leg to do. Upon entry, the receptionist at the desk was pleasant and answered the million questions I had. I was given a guest access code to use the computer and used thag same code to print. Accessing the computer was easy. But, at first it was a bit confusing about the printer because there was a pop-up that instructed you to install a printer (that is not necessary). Once ready to print, the computer send your documents to the print station where you are able to preview your documents, select color or black & white, before you pay $0.10/page for black & white or $0.25/page color copies. Be warned, there is a 25-page print limit. There was a time limit to use the computer as well, but I kept getting automatically extended since there were more computers available and nobody was waiting to use one. The library was quiet although a large group of school-aged children came in. Regardless, it was not too busy there, just a handful of people who came, took care of their business, and left. It was clean and well organized. There are even desk spaces without computer. While there everyone was respectful and followed the norms of the library. I did not check out any books, so I cannot speak to that service, but I did notice a book drop-box outside for after hours. I liked the library and will be back if needed.
