    The first thing you'll notice about this library is that it's gorgeous. It may be the most beautiful building in all of DeKalb, particularly in the summer, where a large front porch sports a soothing fountains and an array of container plantings. It's just as gorgeous inside, with a fireplace and a restored WPA mural. The collections here are really good - the librarians try very hard to pick good stuff, and they've also got a grant for graphic novels. The staff is helpful, friendly, and smart, and if you can't find what you're looking for, it'll be in from interlibrary loan in a few days. The library also features a huge array of programs including book clubs, children's programs, weekend coffee shops, and little wine and music concerts in the stacks, as well as an exceptional yearly fundraiser used book sale. This place is a jewel among libraries, and I can't help but adore it.

    I'd definitely give 5 star for this library especially after they remodeled. They use the space in an excellent way and offer plenty of space both inside and outside of the library. Pristine and impressive outlook! Very friendly and professional staff too. Visiting the library on a sunny day such like today, it makes me appreciate even more about how well they design this library to embrace the sun light. Great collection of the books and resources stay the same. Outstanding library!

    Their card catalog is online, though if you have any trouble their reference librarian is wonderful and loves to help people.
