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.

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.

It's located in downtown Acworth in a building that can be dated back to the civil war...I believe parts of the building has been rebuilt but the ceiling I think is original... The bookstore covers mainly the civil war, WWI, WWII. The owner was very knowledge about not only the history of Acworth and Marietta but also has an encyclopedic knowledge of WWII...it was fun chatting with him. They carry lots of books and art works by local author...in fact when I was there I met one of the local artist who has several of his paintings hanging in the bookstore.

After the session, I asked what advice he would give a KSU student considering transferring to SCAD. Before I could even finish my question, he interrupted me with, "Why would you do that?" He then spoke dismissively about SCAD, including its transfer policies and cost, while acknowledging that he didn't know its current credit requirements. What bothered me most was that, rather than focusing on what would be best for the student and their education, the conversation seemed to become about defending KSU by diminishing another institution. There is absolutely nothing wrong with explaining the strengths of your own program, but students deserve thoughtful, objective guidance, not an attempt to make another school look inferior. I'm a SCAD student myself and transferred from a two-year college, with nearly 90% of my credits accepted. When I shared my firsthand experience, it was brushed aside. Academic leaders represent their institutions. This interaction felt dismissive and unprofessional, and unfortunately left a very poor impression of KSU. My son watched it all and was shocked about the lack of professionalism. For that and other other reasons, he won't be attending KSU.
