This remains my all time favorite library in metro Atlanta. Of course I have fond memories of coming every weekend as a kid and spending hours here reading.... The place itself hasn't changed much...the librarians that I knew as a child have all long retired but the place is top notch shape. Big comfortable couches with lots of hidden nooks and crannies to hide and read all over the place. The place is pretty big but it doesn't feel big only because of the lay out. The book selection here has always been fantastic. Not only does it have a great fiction section filled with all your best sellers like Stephen King and Dan Brown but it has a pretty nice literary fiction section as well such as Jack London's short stories, Walt Whitman's poetry and Henry James. They also have a great philosophy section filled with works of Immanuel Kant and Rousseau (whose writings heavily influenced a Virginian lawyer named Thomas Jefferson) Of course with their interlibrary loan available you have access to thousands of books from the entire Atlanta Fulton County Library system as your disposal....all of it for just being a resident of Fulton County....it is socialism at it's best.... It's located in a quiet woodsy setting that is sort of an oasis from the hectic modern world...whether you fancy a new read and or just need some quiet time...you can't go wrong coming here....

Located down the hill from Roswell Town Square on the way to the covered bridge and the trailhead,…read morethis Little Free Library is easy to spot in the parking area. It is maroon colored and stands on a single post. There is parking. The door is secured with a twist catch. Inside are two shelves of books that are well protected by from the elements. Today's selection was a little lean - only four books today - cookbooks and a young adult mystery. I would have added to it but we're at the tail end of my trip and I've already redistributed the books from my own library I am shrinking. This is charter number 44452 and it is titled "Mary Kelly" with the steward's email address in the listing. The online caption reads, "This is the second LFL in Roswell in memory of my daughter, Heather, who died from meningitis in 2014. The other one is on Roswell Town Square." [Review 1089 of 2024 - 753 in Georgia - 22116 overall]

This little gem is a popular LFL located at the entrance to Old Mill Park. I actually had a hard…read moretime finding this place because Google map lists the address as 95 Mill View Avenue. If you follow according to that address it will take you into a neighborhood where it dead ends. 1 Mill St. Roswell, GA 30075 is a better address to plug into your GPS. According to Little Free Library.org's website library was built by parents Jim and Nancy in honor of their daughter Heather who since has passed away. The library structure is a replica of the Roswell Mill and at one time it had the wheel in the back that turned. But that has long been lost or broke off...not sure which....When I visited the library it was jammed pack with books and there was actually a line of people waiting to either donate or take a book...so good to see that....it's a great addition to our humble neighborhood. Thanks Jim, Nancy and Heather....
