    Great library. Friendly staff. Outside seating areas; plenty of parking. Got my library card and will check other branches soon.

    We love this library! I take my little one there frequently. Everyone is always very polite and…read morehelpful. Yes, it can be a little rowdy in there in the afternoon as some students from a nearby school come in and wait to be picked up there, but if you're just browsing for books, it's not a problem.

    Nicely sized library at the Stone Mountain - Sue Kellogg Library. Some libraries I've visited have…read morebeen light on books but not the case here. This library is split into two areas, one being a general library, complete with tables, computer access and shelves of books plus chairs. The other area is actually a decently sized children's area with a few desks, several shelves of books for kids and a children's play area. It was the children's area where I decided to sit, mainly because it was the only area with a desk area without a computer where I could sit and study undisturbed. Be warned...being in the kids area means you'll at some point have to be okay with kids ignoring the "quiet in the library" rule, but hey, it's THEIR area, not yours. So why the three stars (I didn't ding them for the kids being kids)? Really it was because I had to sit in the kids area in the first place. True, I guess I didn't HAVE to, but there were only tables available for studying in the general section of the library which were shared. Areas where there were individual places to sit seemed to only be computer stations, and I didn't want to take someone's computer privileges by sitting there, not using it. Parking was not a problem in this lot, but as it's literally steps away from the free lot in downtown Stone Mountain, there's always more parking if needed. Located in visual distance from Weeyums, and maybe a half mile from Stone Mountain park, you're very close to a few good restaurants, coffee, and some exercise if you want it. Decent library in a nice location that generally provides A-okay studying for you.

    I don't know if this happens to you, but I find a TV show or movie that sounds interesting and then…read moreI discover I can't stream it, much to my dismay. Enter the public libraries. There is a strong chance they might have the show or movie on DVD! DeKalb County Public Libraries have now extended their DVD loan period to 3 weeks, same as books, which is much appreciated. I actually came to this Clarkston branch since they had a particular disc that I was looking for; you can check the online catalog to see what's available. The main parking lot is behind the library, and the entrance is to the side. The driveway to the lot is narrow so drive slowly. The building shows its age and it's not the biggest location, but it's still a pleasant library. The restrooms were clean (though there were some empty cigarette packs at the back of the building), and the other patrons were well-behaved. It was easy enough for me to locate the DVD area and find what I needed. The guy at the circulation desk wasn't the friendliest, oh well. Don't forget your mask since they're required. If you are a monster who doesn't like books, periodicals, and multimedia (kidding), you still should stop by the Clarkston Library to admire its enormous stunning hibiscuses! Whoa, gorgeous.

    Nice library! I came…read moreto the Dekalb county Public library in Clarkston to study on a Friday afternoon, and this was one of the better libraries i've been to. Nope, it's not as technologically advanced as other locations, but it is clean, there is space for studying and it's actually quiet! If anyone has kept up with my reviews on libraries, my biggest beef has always been someone was loud and disruptive, but on this day, I was relatively undisturbed....outside of the guy next to me who asked me if he could borrow a pen. The library isn't the largest one i've been to, but there's a respectable amount of books and computer stations, both immediately in front of you as you walk in, and to the left of you. The entire right side of the library is the children's area. All the way to the far left there's about 5 cubicles for studying, as well as a few chairs as well. Several Tables are also found while walking to this area. On this day most of the cubicles were empty, so I was able to take a spot in the padded chairs and get to work. One cool thing about the cubicles is they all come with their own individual lamps, for the late night studying ( only mon-wed...they close at 5pm thurs - sat), a nice little touch I haven't seen any other library branch do yet. 30 minutes before the library is to close, they alert you via loud speaker, and continue to do so every 10 minutes until it closes, so you don't have to worry about not being alerted of it's closure. Parking at the library is interesting. There is a parking lot to the left of the library, but the actual "library only" parking is at the rear of the library itself (turn right into the library lot and follow the road around). It's a smallish lot, being able to hold less than 20 cars and likely less than that. Getting in or out of this lot in either direction isn't too tough. I definitely like this library. It's small, not the most technological, but it does what a library should do....keep a quiet atmosphere and for learning. What can I say? I'm a fan!

    When I used to live in Lithonia, I came here all the time. Now that I moved, I still come back!…read moreGranted, my fiancé does work in the area BUT even if he didn't, I'd come here anyways. Let me start off by saying this is nowhere near the largest library I've ever been in but it still is pretty cozy to me. It's bigger than the Sue Kellogg branch in Stone Mountain. Redan-Trotti has more computers, tables, and seating thus making it a comfortable spot to read and study. The bathrooms here are usually clean as well. There's also a copy machine but no fax machine. The only downfall is that I can't bring in any food or drinks... which is understandable because some people are messy and there's carpet, computers, and books that people could mess up. I still wish I could bring in my coffee though for my reading/studying sessions. With Redan-Trotti's humble size yet the right amount of equipment (and furniture,) this will be my go-to library as long as I'm living in DeKalb.

    This is going to sound crazy but I've had a library card for YEARS and never really used it. I had…read moreto get one for my daughter for school and physically entered a library about 2 years ago, for the first time since like the 90's. I didn't think much of it. I entered and we both got new cards and bounced. Then someone put me on to a library app called Libby and now I'm checking out books from my iPad and never thought about entering one again. FFWD to 3 days ago when I ran out of ink for my printer at the house and it was faster (and cheaper) to go to the library and print instead of running out for more ink. So I went in this library with that one goal in mind. But... all of that was tossed aside when I was met at the door with a book display that blew my mind!! On my mama I found like 6 books I wanted and they just GAVE THEM TO ME!! Like all I did was show my card and that was it. This *ish seemed criminal!! I forgot how easy it is to get books at the library. I'm shook!! Dead a**!! I'm ready to get more and I don't even know what the limit is!! Anyways this is more of a general library review and not necessarily this library. But since I was at THIS library they get all the credit for re opening my mind to the beauty of going to the library. And its cute cozy and clean in here so go check them out. End/
