    My first time at the Duluth Library and it is beautiful. Furthermore, I haven't been to the library…read morein about 20 years. LoL!! I took the 1hr 49min ride to the Duluth Library to experience the engagement with Raymond Santana. Detailed as, "Join Raymond Santana, one of the Central Park Five, as he discusses his young adult illustrated memoir, "Pushing Hope," which reflects on his wrongful conviction and tireless fight for his 2002 exoneration." I was excited to be in the room. The Duluth Library was the perfect place to have this event. The space was huge. The sound system was perfect and went throughout the entire room and the way the room was set up was ideal for the audience to focus and be able to feel the emotions expressed with each word. More than just a library, the Duluth Library was a night of memoir engagement for me and I am so happy that I went and was able to be present. Overall, the Duluth Library is humungus, super clean, and is easy to navigate when looking for books. The staff was super friendly and greeted me upon walking in with smiles on their faces. If you're in the area and ready to engage with all the Duluth Library has to offer. Make sure to stop in and check out all you've been missing.

Plenty of outlets and USB ports. The staff is always super friendly, helpful and professional. Plenty of Mac Monitors to choose from. The selection of books are solid. Last, they have book club and author programs all the time that are well done and as someone mentioned you don't have to live in Gwinnett County to attend these programs. This is a great branch and I can't recommend it enough. During different times, the branch has kiosks that give out free COVID or flu testing kits. The people running this branch are really on top of it! Separate and apart from this review, this is also an Amazon Locker location.

    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.

    I have been to many libraries in the past 30 years, but I have never seen such a well-managed…read morebranch. Not only is the environment elegant, the interior clean, well-organized and quiet. The most important thing is that the employees here are all nice and proactive in helping everyone. Special mention goes to Ellen. She is warm, professional, and tries her best to provide convenience for us, which left a deep impression on me. Indeed, Fulton library system is luck to have people like her!

    A beautiful public space that deserves more gratitude than criticism…read more I've seen a few low-star reviews about staff interactions, and honestly, I find them unfair. This library offers a free, clean, and modern facility for anyone who wants to read, study, or simply find a peaceful place to think -- and that's something we shouldn't take for granted. The Norcross Branch is bright, open, and thoughtfully designed -- with private study rooms, creative children's areas, and comfortable seating by the windows that make it easy to focus. Everything feels calm and cared for. Staff members have always been courteous and professional when I've visited. They manage a busy public space while keeping it welcoming and safe, which isn't easy work. If you need a quiet retreat to learn, write, or reflect, this library is a wonderful gift to the community. Let's appreciate it for what it is -- a place built for everyone, maintained with effort, and offered freely.

    Best libary in the region! Why? Friendly staff who actually enjoy working at the library. This…read morelibrary serves the community well! I been to a Fulton library near my residency, and there is no comparison. This branch is always ready to accommodate patrons, and is lively as well. I travel more than 20 minutes to this facility, and it is worth it! Gwinnett county government at its finest here! Great services, great facility, great staff, great resources, friendly people, and great surroundings---, the park and Norcross historical area.

You can go online and after finding your selection, place a hold and you'll receive an email once it's available. Books are usually held for five days giving you time to pick it up. Though there have been times when I couldn't make it so I called and the staff was helpful in allowing me more time. There is also a self check out. This system is wonderful. After checking out your books you can choose to have a receipt printed with the due date or have one emailed to you.

    I don't know if I should review this comparing to other libraries in general or just Gwinnett…read morelibraries. I've been to a few gwinnett libraries. But I have also been to university libraries which don't compare. Compared to other Gwinnett Libraries: Quaint place which stretches way beyond people realize. I actually volunteered here during high school, back in the day. The volunteer coordinator took me to the back where there are many offices. This campus is the main campus for administration for all public libraries. Kinda cool little fact most people may never know.That being said, they have a pretty awesome volunteer program! Or they did back in the day at least ;). Cool magazine room that stays quiet. Library in general is always quiet (as it should be ;)) Lots of kids always, but it's not too bad. Good lighting. Wifi usually works if needed. Has all the books you'll possibly need, or you can have them reserve the book you need to pick up on the gwinnett public library website. I think they have book clubs, puppet shows, and stuff like that. I usually at this point only go on the website, have books on hold for me, and go pick them up. It's super convenient! Reading is FUNdamental! :)

For most of the books I read, I place an on-line request and receive a notice when they are ready to be picked up. Reading for fun could not be easier or more affordable!

    I came here to study a few days ago and was pleasantly happy upon entering the library. First off,…read moreI totally had to pee and found the bathroom in the foyer. I handled my biz and was through the library detectors. (Clean bathroom with sufficient toilet paper, soap, and paper towel, by the way.) The day was perfect. Slightly cloudy with very mild temperatures. This led me to mistakenly assume there would be few people in the library. I often wonder if anyone goes to the library still and let me tell you, folks definitely go to the Peachtree Corners branch of the Gwinnett Public Library system. In the middle of the afternoon, there were people of all different ages, studying, reading, working, and playing. I had no problem with noise and plopped down at a desk towards the back of the library. Free Wi-Fi but no electrical outlet for me to plug in. Luckily my MacBook, with its screwed-up, old battery still holds a charge better than any PC laptop I ever owned before. Mostly I was writing out equations on paper, so I was good to go with the juice in my computer. The library was a comfortable temperature, probably warmer than most commercial places, which was awesome for me. Strangely, there was a woman wrapped up in a thick blanket. Not sure what that was all about. I took a picture to send to my family group chat, but I won't post it here, haha. I saw a decent collection of books as I peered around right before leaving. I'm not a Gwinnett county resident but I'm trying to bribe my sister into sharing her library card with me! I mean, Asians all look the same, right? Terrible joke... (I'm Asian and we are talking about my sister, after all. We must share some physical resemblance, so unbunch your panties.) [#Yelp365: 113/365]
