CD's (I know, I'm old school like that), book sales, and special rooftop events are a few more reasons for stopping in. As a part of my job, I had the joy of working with them on the Summer Mayor's Reading Club. I saw children and youth of all ages gathering each day to read, listen, and learn more about the power of books. In this age of electronics, we could all use a space where paper and ink still dominate. Get your card today!

They have a room that is located to the left after entering the library, which has plenty of tables and chairs. I haven't spent too much time in the library area, but one day my niece and sister tagged alone and checked out a DVD and a few children's books. The branch is low key. Not too much traffic because the main library is located in the area as well. The staff didn't seem too knowledgable, but I doubt they get several guests who are there too do anything other than use the computers. They have about 8 computers located as soon as you come in. The library is quaint and a perfect fit for the neighborhood.

It was busy in the best possible way: people drifting between shelves with purpose, a small line forming at the register, and an author set up at a front table signing books while chatting with readers. Moments like that feel like a quiet victory for local culture, a reminder that #LocalBooks still matter and that Augusta shows up for them. I lingered longer than I meant to because the browsing here pulls you in. The front tables were stacked with new releases and staff picks, and the red dot discount display added that little spark of treasure‑hunt energy. The range of subjects is part of what makes the place feel so alive. Politics and gender identity sit alongside fiction and romance, sci fi and fantasy, table games, cookbooks, and a genuinely thoughtful section on Augusta history. It's the kind of curation that reflects a community rather than a trend algorithm. And of course, there's the upstairs. It's one of the shop's best features. Quieter, a little more contemplative, with shelves that reward slow wandering. A busy bookstore on a weekend afternoon is a small civic joy. The Book Tavern manages to feel both rooted and evolving, a place where Augusta's literary life gathers itself and keeps going. [Review 212 of 2026 - 913 in Georgia - 25401 overall]

They have 4 community computers that are open to anyone (they will log you in). I did not walk around much but I noticed there was an upstairs and a few soundproof study rooms. I was told you have to put money on your jagcard to print but for some reason, it would not load for me. Thankfully I was only printing 2 articles so they allowed me to print free of charge. The computers I was on seemed small and dated but other than that it appeared to be a basic library. Nothing fancy.

I believe there are several other offices located inside, but I've only visited those mentioned above. The staff is always nice at both places. Commission meetings are open to the public and slightly boring unless you're there for a specific purpose. The board of elections staff is always helpful, but during voting times there are mostly volunteers. They are all well versed in their purpose and they do a great job also. Parking is available in the area, but the lot is usually full because of employees. So street parking is usually the best option.

The blue box with shingle roof and red trim is standing on a single blue post. The door is not secured and opens easily. Inside, a small collection of paperbacks and thin books. I think this library needs more donating and less taking but maybe today was an off day. This is charter number 47935 and the steward is Jonathan Harper. The online caption reads, "Olde Town Book exchange A at the community garden on the corner of 3rd Street and Telfair Street." [Review 14736 overall, 236 of 2021, number 399 in Georgia.]
