This is one of, if not the best, libraries in the Dekalb system if not the metro Atlanta area…read more This library not only has the standard meeting rooms but a fully equipped auditorium. Its selections of books is outstanding and it is always clean and orderly. The environment is conducive to reading. There are also study rooms. The computers work. Most importantly the staff is not only knowledgeable but they are more than willing to assist you. This is a great place to come to study, do research, read or just check out the latest book.

It's been a while since I've come to one so I'm not sure if the "quiet" rules have changed. But I know who is going on vacation, who is running late for lunch, and other miscellaneous things due to the staff's super loud chatting. I'm sitting quite far away as well and the conversation is distracting. Part of me wants to say shut up but the other part of me knows that they mean no harm and are kind. I recommend this library - just find a quiet spot if you are really trying to concentrate and you will be good.

The only downside for me was that, living in Fulton County, I wasn't eligible for a free library card--it would cost $40 annually.

Little town of Jackson, GA... another stop after a series of twists and turns on our summer road…read moretrip of 2022. This little town was one of several places we park the truck and trailer so my kids could visit some of the filming locations for Stranger Things and The Walking Dead. Several scenes from stranger things were filmed here around the town Square... if you're a fan of the show, you probably remember the big fight in the alley, or the army surplus store, or the RadioShack, or even where hopper works. It was this last place that made the Jackson-Butts library a memorable spot for us. Interestingly, there is still a Confederate soldier statue standing in front, not yet torn down. Time will tell, I suppose. Aside from featuring some places you've seen on TV, the whole little town is pretty cute, with shops and restaurants starting here in there. Many of the local stores embrace their notoriety from Netflix, while others seem to dismiss it all together. Either way, we enjoyed our brief stop here, walking around like slack-jawed yokel's, mildly starstruck and amused at the novelty of it all. I can't imagine a future where I will travel back along these scenic byways and two lane roads to visit Jackson, Georgia... But I suppose that if we leads to weigh, and I do find my way back, That would not be such a bad thing. Hell, maybe I'll be in the witness protection program, and they'll drop me here. Oops, scratch this one off the list...

I was able to find a study carrel where I could power up laptops and get some work done (and Yelp reviews written) instead of trying to work from the van when it's just too darned hot. Plenty of space, lots of different areas to sit and study including some rooms that could be reserved. You do not need to be a local resident to use the library, only to borrow materials.

I am specifically writing about the Watkinsville branch. They shelve items incorrectly and try to…read moresay you didn't return them. probably because they beg for volunteers to shelve who haven't any clue how to do this. also, I had a book that accidentally got damaged and wanted to replace it. there was an identical copy on Amazon for $4.99.

I will never patronize them again.

Seems like these library staff even encourage it since they seem to have the loudest voices and unrestrained laughter. People talk in the mobile phones in a regular tone of voice despite signs on each computer terminal to go to the lobby if they want to use their phones. The staff doesn't seem to mind it and they do not enforce it. This is not a library---more like a flea market where one are encouraged to socialize...where loud voices are encouraged with abandon. The number one practitioners are the staff---prima donnas at their best.

They have a very intensive calendar for Children, Young Adults, and Adults. The first time I stumbled in was simply to put in your documents and to use the computer. After seeing all that they offered I decided to bring my little man with me for Story time. Children's Section: The children's section of the library in sectioned off with doors and is a joy to be in. There is plenty of space to explore and a private room for more events. They offer the following: 1. Toddler Story time: Tuesday's @ 11:00am 2. Baby Lap Story time: Friday's @ 10:30am

A first visit to this library branch in Johns Creek felt like stepping into a little haven. The…read moreentrance was lined with $1 books and a spot to donate your own, which instantly set a warm, community‑minded tone. Inside, the space is bright and peaceful, with huge windows overlooking the trees, plenty of cozy seating, quiet study nooks, and full access to computers. Stephanie, a librarian of 21 years, was a joy to talk to. She mentioned that visits have dipped since the pandemic, perhaps due to the rise of e‑books, but she wishes more people knew about the incredible resources that often go unused. Beyond books, there are digital tools, in‑person classes, access to new computers, and even free passes to Georgia state parks and the Chattahoochee Nature Center. That's a novel perk if there ever was one. It's a true community gem--welcoming, accessible, and a reminder that libraries offer something the digital world can't: connection. Stopping by your local branch might just be the best chapter you add to your week.
