    I've been to a couple of other DeKalb Library branches, but this Brookhaven one is the most compact…read moreone I've visited. It feels cramped and tight. There is a downstairs, but I didn't get to scope it out. An old man kept staring at me. And a woman's phone kept going off. Aside from the questionable patrons, the employees are nothing but helpful and welcoming. There's parking in the front (entrance off of Sylvan Circle) as well as in the back of the building.

    After finally registering for a Dekalb County library card, I was excited to check out some of the…read moredifferent branches. The Brookhaven Library is located next to my dentist, so I stopped in on my way out. This location is tiny! It's almost tiny enough to be cute, but seems to lack the resources that larger branches have. The parking is pretty inconvenient since, well, it's so small. And the one way parking lot makes in annoying to have to enter and exit the corner lot, especially if there's traffic. I felt a little uncomfortable with the few homeless people loitering outside. But maybe that's just my own problem. The struggle of being close to a Marta station, maybe? Speaking of which, this location is a brief walk from the Brookhaven Marta Station. If I ever see a book or movie that I want from Brookhaven, I may just request it online to be shipped to Dunwoody so I can avoid this library in the future.

    I'm generally a fan of all things library. This is a good location to stop off, grab some wifi,…read morewrite a few emails, and get on with your day. I do notice that it's not exactly the quietest library in the world. I've seen people come out of the meeting room on the phone, and then stand in the actual library to spare the meeting room the noise from their call. Some street folks seem to to ubiquitously occupy space at the computer terminals. I've never seen an empty terminal there. That being said, there is still wifi, and I've never really had a problem getting to an outlet if I need one. And the staff have been really helpful to me. It's clear families come here and there is an ongoing community outreach thing that touches a lot of people.

    Using your public library is a great way to save money. Before you order a book, movie or cd…read moreonline, check to see if it's at the library. Doraville Library is small, but it's part of the Dekalb Library system, so if the book you want isn't here, you can have it transferred here from another branch- or you can go to the other branch, your D-vile Library card is good at any Dekalb Library. They have a lot of DVDs too, so skip Redbox and Netflix and utilize the public service you support with your taxes. I don't think this location is ideal for studying or working. It's very small, so it's like sitting in a living room with a bunch of people. A lot of homeless people patronize American libraries; it's a free, climate controlled place to be that won't get mad at you for loitering. The two closest libraries to this one are more comfortable for study and work- Chamblee and Embry Hills. You can find semi- private nooks and niches to settle in to at those. Decatur is the biggest branch in the Dekalb County library system. It's nice, but had a weak wifi connection last time I checked. Lots of events at these libraries- check the flyers and the website.

    I was running some errands and drove past this book store. I was curious to see what was inside, so…read moreI turned around and parked and went inside to take a look. This is quite the hidden gem of a bookstore in Atlanta! This place feels very cozy and calming. There are countless books throughout the entire store sorted by genres. They even have a downstairs area filled with additional books as well as periodicals and magazines. The store almost transports you back in time, because there are sooooo many older and vintage copies of books. They even have some signed books for sale too! I saw a Dr. Seuss booked that was signed by the man himself...pretty cool if I do say so myself! The signed copies vary, but definitely take a look when you're there! It would make a super cool gift for someone. Another cool thing, is that they have 2 store cats! You will most likely find them by the front desk with the employees. One was napping when I came and the other was sitting right by the desk. The books all vary in price. It kinda just depends on what you get. I'll definitely be back in the future to take a further look!

Lots of interesting books of every genre that you can imagine vintage magazines, including Playboy magazines, and periodicals we loved every inch of this bookstore. We will be back.

    [This review is for the records department]…read more I usually despise going to any government agency because the bureaucracy can be exhausting, and a visit could easily turn into an all-day affair. Chamblee Police Dept Record Division changed my mind on this matter. I needed to go in to get a new bartending permit. Setting an appointment (phone call only) was relatively easy and they were very clear about what I needed to apply, as well as the cost. I arrived the next day to a clean and easily navigable facility. I believe this location is only a few years old, but the grounds are manicured and clearly maintained. There's even an attached park, outdoor workout area and a small track that is open to the public. The permit application was super easy. Staff were friendly. All necessary components for my application were highlighted and the paperwork was easy to get through. I'd say this process took me 20 minutes, tops. Next steps post-application were printed out and easy to follow. I was very pleased. My only point of frustration is that the city website is hard to navigate and outdated with prices/procedures that are not accurate to date. But honestly it really didn't interfere with much.
