Best Library in Cobb County, HANDS DOWN!…read more Over the last 6 months I've been spending time at various libraries throughout the city and surrounding areas, and I tell you nothing compares to The North Regional Library in Kennesaw, GA - Cobb County. I've been doing some market research on how to start a business and the library is a one stop shop for all of my needs. The building is bright, airy, and spotless--with large windows that let in lots of natural light and plenty of comfy seating around . There's a great children's section with learning toys, a clean and welcoming teen/young adult room, plus a dedicated makerspace and a fully stocked computer training lab. I even brought my daughter and granddaughter here and they actually learned a lot and had fun. Plenty of study rooms--perfect for group work or meeting quietly--are available, and the outdoor plaza is a great spot for programs or just chilling with a book. Free Wi‑Fi, public computers, printing, scanning, and copier services make it super convenient whether you're a student, a freelancer, or just wanting to browse. What really stands out is the staff--they're welcoming, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. Shot out to Sarah, Alice, Alecia and the entire team over there. Whether you need tech assistance, program info, or a book recommendation, someone's there to answer your questions. I didn't feel intimidated at all when asking questions. All in all, whether you're bringing the kids, getting work done, getting away from the kids, or diving into a new hobby, North Cobb Regional Library offers everything--and the vibe's just right. Highly recommend stopping by!

Aesthetically, the library is beautiful. However, that's were the positive review ends. I've always…read moreknow libraries to be relatively quite places, North Cobb Regional Library is not one of them. From the employees to adult patrons, they speak in voices as if they were at an outdoor venue and patrons in study rooms holding audible, lengthy conversations on their phones. Should you be inclined to visit this library to study or simply to read a book, be sure to bring earplugs or wear noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs.

The location is right off of 575 between Cumming Highway and Brown Industrial Parkway. Nearby businesses includes, GA department of Driver's Licence, Must Ministries and Cherokee County Juvenile Court. The library has a capacity of 110 people and is one of the larger libraries in the area. Only Pickens and Woodstock locations are larger. Some of the features includes over a dozen public computers for patrons with a current library card or a guest pass. They also have several tablets and laptops that you can sign out for in library use. Free wifi is also available. Just ask a librarian for the current password. One of the unique feature at this library that I've not seen in the other libraries is their jigsaw puzzle collection. They have a whole wall of puzzles that you can check out like you would a book that you might like to read. It's a great a idea for developing and sharpening one's cognitive skills. There are at least 60+ available parking spaces in the parking lot so you shouldn't have any problems finding a free parking space even on the weekends. 1143rd review 1/10/2018 63rd for 2018

While the patrons of this library are quietly doing whatever it is they came here to do--reading,…read morestudying, researching, or simply enjoying some peace and quiet--the librarians seem to have a different interpretation of "library quiet." Someone will approach the desk with a question, and the librarian will proceed to answer it at the top of their lungs. At that point, everyone in the building knows exactly what the patron needed. We all know the rule: quiet, please. Is there really a need to announce someone's business to the entire library? Is the goal to wake the dead? Speaking for myself, I wouldn't go up there and ask a question even if I needed help. I have no desire for the entire library to hear what I'm looking for. Please--some of us actually came here for the quiet.

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.

I've spent time at West Cobb, Switzer, North Cobb, and Kemp. The facilities at West Cobb are…read moreoutstanding and I find the tables and cubicles to be the best set up of those four locations for working remotely. The children's section is separated and what noise there is from little children is muted and kind of cute. Agree with all the positives in other reviews, but also unfortunately agree with Haley. This is easily the noisiest library I've ever been in dating back to grade school. Most of the staff operate exactly as you'd expect in a library, but a couple are quite loud, which invites some patrons to be loud in their interactions with those staff members. Earphones won't do the job. You need noise cancelling headphones. There is a large staff area/back room, and I'd love to see them move the desk for passport calls into that room, or into the dedicated passport meeting room itself.

West Cobb Regional blends technology and neighborhood for a full-service quality convenient library trip. Sure you can stay for a few hours doing that same research on a public computer terminal now, but you're also linked into the larger Cobb Library system to bring it all to your local branch. Grab a new bestseller on hold and it'll magically arrive in a few days. Browse digital reading, audio, videos to have them delivered to your device. The Cobbcat and Overdrive connections make it convenient to pick up that that hard-copy or instant digital download. And while all this futuristic stuff is nice, you'll still be able to stop in and ask a question of the real librarian staff in person. Plenty of real-live printed stuff still exists here (even Periodicals). While you're there, check out the children's programs onsite and virtually. Spaces allow for community events like tax prep and other civic causes throughout the year as well. Flexible hours make it easy to visit around work and school. Let your kids pick a random book from the large selection, or get specific with the online catalog terminals. Once you have everything selected, self-checkout will speed you on your way, or go old-school and take it to the counter. An actual person will be there to sign up your next child with their own library card, or help you find that one more research nugget you need. I'll be in later to grab my hold-copy of that latest best-seller thriller beach read.
