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.

I saw a bad review but needed a place to study so I'm glad I checked this place out for myself.

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]

I wish we waited for the other locations we had on our wish list. Applying for housing was easy, but they did not want to work with us. We spoke to different people, who gave us different answers. We had asked for specific amenities (i.e. a fence for our dog, one story, near other families with kids similar in age), but all we disregarded. I'm not paying three thousand dollars for a fence I'm not able to take when we PCS again. We decided to live off post which was the best choice we could have made. You can get a QUALITY rental for the same price of your BAH. I've made friends with a few families on post, and looking at their houses made me feel so relieved that we don't live there. Eisenhower is okay. I like my kids pediatrician and she always puts out referrals for us no problem. I'm actually relieved that their specialty care is out in the world and not there. However getting immunizations here is awful. It's -always- a long wait after you see the doctor. I guess I was spoiled at Bethesda, because they had about five stations usually with two people at each, at least when it came to the kids shots. It was so nice because they could do shots at the same time on the opposite legs. But anyways, scheduling future appointments at Eisenhower is always a PITA too. For parents with kids four and under, they have a program called NPSP, New Parent Support Program. I've met some really nice moms there and it gets you and the kids socialized. They usually have quarterly events, and it's always open to their entire family. The PX is actually pretty nice. We've always had no problem. The food court isn't terrible, but I hear they're opening a Tropical Smoothie in May, praise. The commissary is TRASH, and it's closed on Monday. You'd think that given how big Ft. Gordon is, that it'd be quality products, but it's once of the worst commissaries I've ever stepped foot in. Always, always, ALWAYS check the expiration dates and look for mold. ALWAYS. While I wouldn't recommend anything in Fort Gordon, there is so much to do in Augusta, Grovetown, and Evans. And if you can swing it, live off post. You'll be happier.

The base is pretty easy to navigate once you know the main roads. Gate 2 is getting a bit busy, but Gate 1 is atrocious in the morning. Apparently, Ft Gordon has the nicest golf course in the Army? I guess they feel they need to live up to the masters. Oh and the PX has a legit Starbucks! I like that I can still collect points on my rewards cards and it's not a main street. Gas is comparable to the rest of the town. I don't notice much of a difference.
