I always keep my phone on vibrate or silent, it seems like other people do not care. They ring loud and instead of them stepping out to talk, they will have a conversation in the library. No one has said anything to them about it. The librarians are not too friendly, and I know everyone has a job, but maybe the building should be vacuumed when they close. Whomever the guy is that clean will be there vacuuming from the time they open until about 1:45 such an inconvenience when you are trying to read and study.

This is a very small place, so don't expect to be immersed in adult books (There are only a few shelves with them; the children's area is more developed.). I don't mind, though, because I go to have a quiet place to study; the SouthCobb branch, which is closer to my home, is very crowded on Saturdays. This one is not.

There are also puzzles for adults who enjoy that along with a host of other games and activities that individuals can use while there.

I'm not an Emory student, however the universities in Georgia have all agreed to make their libraries accessible to all college students in rolled in Georgia. So if you get distracted at your own college library because you run into everyone you know ever and instead of hard core studying, you end up ordering pizza and sneaking in beers to party in the upper halls (not me of course), I suggest you study at Emory's library. Just call the front desk to find out the hours available for visitors and to ask about parking - you don't want a $50 dollar parking ticket. My favorite room is silent hall on the second floor. It is filled with those big wooden tables with green hooded lamps attached in the middle and large comfy chairs. No whispering allowed.

Never judge a book by a cover they say, I'll add never judge a font by its size! I came here to do some research for some feature films I'm comprising and I was totally enraptured with the grandiose collection. The music & media library is outstanding and a wonderful resource. The staff is nice, and helpful, and kind and helping me feel that I'm not a spaz for my large print love. I even explained the virtues of the large font way and I think I may have converted a couple more followers. Or maybe they were just bein' Southern and nice.

As a Villa Rica Public Library patron and community partner, I can't overstate my satisfaction with…read moreVR Library. The Manager, Dr. Rachel Linn, and the entire staff are so warm, welcoming and accommodating. They have generously supported my modular Black History exhibit, "The Carver High Experience," every February for the past 7 or so years. The space that is provided allows me to present my visitors a true "Museum Without Walls" experience. In recent years, we've had more than ten large (30-60) student groups from Carrollton City and other school districts, visit it. As well as a number of senior and church groups. I provide a walking and talking tour of the exhibit along with a personal narrative about My Carver High Experience and my childhood growing up in Carroll County when this area was populated by only a few thousand people and most of them were farmers. The number of general public visitors continues to grow. Back in 2005, our original goal was to create a brick and mortar museum. When that plan fell through, I had an epiphany to create a modular traveling exhibit. The rest is history. VRPL has become a vital component of my answered prayer: to research, preserve and share the history of African Americans in Carroll County with current and future generations. When we started this quest in 2004, hardly anyone remembered or knew much about Carver High. Most in the younger generations had not heard of it - including many African Americans! By now , I believe MOST residents know something about Carver High. In closing, our Visitors' Log keeps track of individual visitors (not including the students). The visitors count continues to hover around 300-400 indIvidual visitors. I know for a fact that some visitors don't sign the log. So there's another hundred or so visitors to add to the visitors' count. I am thrilled that approximately 1000 visitors now come to see "The Carver High Experience" each year at the VR Library... I believe their warm and welcoming atmosphere has a lot to do with it! We started out including a Tour of the Library to manage the oversized groups. I'm sure many of those young people have become patrons themselves. VRPL has so many youth-oriented activities and feature, such as gaming tournament, a teen center, study rooms, a separate children's library, etc. It is also the meeting place for adult clubs and community organization. It is a safe, well/maintained, well/supervised welcoming space for children and adults...with lots of books. Carolyn Gray Creator & Curator The Carver High Experience Traveling Exhibit.

So it runs on it's own system but seemingly no different than any other library. There's a large parking lot so scrambling for a space to park isn't a battle you have to fight when visiting. When I drove up, I was blow away by. the beauty of the building exterior, such a pretty place! I visited with my son and was also so appreciative of the accessibility since we were navigating a stroller. It was so quiet and peaceful when we walked in. There were a few patrons downstairs but you never would have known it, you could hear a pin drop. I was greeted and helped by a young lady who gave me all the in's and out's. I live right on the edge of the perimeter so I just lucked out and snagged a library card. After getting our card, my son and I just strolled around the library checking out the offerings. The children's section is so cute and filled with books, colorful furniture and space to enjoy some reading and play time. There was even a clear distinction between the section for the little littles and kids, loved it. I was also so surprised to see items available for rent such as baking supplies - how cool. As a child of a teacher who has always prioritized education and reading, I'm so grateful for libraries. Get yourself a library card today!

Today, I arrived at 4:30pm and was asked to leave right after 7pm, and I'm literally looking at five other people all sitting at desks, and the second study room is vacant! It seems idiotic that if there isn't anyone vying for the study rooms LESS THAN AN HOUR until closing that someone should be asked to leave. So basically, what I just had to do is end my Zoom meeting, collect all of my belongings just to sit out next to the other patrons, all while staring at what are now TWO vacant study rooms! What harm am I doing to the day to day operations, especially when it took THIRTY MINUTES to do their rounds??? The last time I visited, I was told that my video could be heard on the first floor, which was impossible, because I have enough sense to monitor my volume, even with a closed door. At this point, I'm starting to think that it's personal since I come often if I'm in the area. So with that, I will resume my patronage at Switzer, where they understand this logic, and I won't be visiting ever again.
