This is not a very busy library---but it is noisy. People talk here in an unrestrained voice and…read morethe staff does not enforce it. 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.

I love this library, the workers, and the cleanliness…read more Little man and I started coming to story time at this location because of all they offered. 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

I'm at library an average of twice a week. This particular…read morelocation has a section which I utilize each time. Their hold section. 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! :)

I've been to most of the presidential libraries. This is less fancy than others. No boastful…read morewartime tales like Eisenhower. No scandal like Clinton's. No WWII like FDR. No bomb like Truman. But that's Jimmy's style. This is probably the most apolitical "makes everyone happy" museum there is. It really focuses on his wins, especially in the Middle East peace accords. Doesn't mention the Reagan scam to hold the Iranian hostages until after the election. Doesn't say anything about his unpopularity or how he handled it. Downplays the energy crisis (but doesn't avoid it altogether). Glosses over his loss of the White House. Talks a lot about his humanitarian feats, and that's okay, because that's the crux of the Jimmy Carter presidency and the majority of his life after. The museum also focuses more on the First Lady, Rosalyn, more than any other museum I have in memory. If you watch the 15 minute film in the beginning, it tells you everything you're going to see in the museum. Maybe that makes the mental work easier, but also a little boring. The Jimmy Carter library is the only one I've seen that offers so many activities to take throughout the museum, including word searches, crosswords, and quiz sheets. I really like this because it is Jimmy's spirit--engage children and others to interact with the world around them and think about how to make it better. I think I paid 12 dollars to enter, which is more than fair. The staff was super kind and accommodating. Worth a stop if you're nearby, but I don't know if I would pull off the interstate to see.

I am self-proclaimed history nerd and have been to 5 other Presidential Library/Museum's. Jimmy…read moreCarter's Library is very well done. The exterior of the building is beautiful with a pool leading up to the entrance. The pool is blue and undamaged (take notes Trump). There is a walking path with a pond in the back along with a Japanese garden in the back. There are also statues and separate buildings for research and a peace retreat. Inside the Museum, there is the usual gift shop to get your token souvenirs. The museum is setup in chronological order starting with him growing up on a farm in Southern Georgia, his military service in WW2, his rise in local politics, his Presidency and then in my opinion his most impactful part, his post Presidency. The displays are very well done with artifacts through all phases of his life. They have his paperwork from his military service, gifts given to him while president from other heads of state, his Nobel Peace Prize, and lots of other stuff. During his presidency, they have a timeline wall with pop culture events that happened during that time. The mock Oval Offices are always my favorite part of these museums. I like to see what each president had in their offices. Jimmy was far from a great President, but he was a phenomenal man. The museum does a great job of capturing all of it.
