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!

Such a beautiful library! Bright and airy, very clean, teen room/young adult room, makerspace,…read moreplenty of study rooms, and so much more. They offer computers and printers for public use. Tons of parking outside. They also have a beautiful garden outside! I loved walking through it and seeing what they were growing (blueberries, sunflowers, jalapeños). They have tons of events going on here including a play cafe for toddlers on Tuesdays, Wednesday's and Thursday. We just moved to Georgia and couldn't wait to locate the closest library and sign up for library cards. The librarian who assisted us was wonderful! So so sweet and helpful. She even helped us get registered to vote. She explained all that we could do at the library and how many books (50) we could check out at a time. The kid's area of the library had a huge selection of fun books to choose from and also had an area of toys for my daughter to play with. I loved that they had a "chill out" room where you could nurse your baby, change a diaper, or have some quiet time if needed. Very cool. It's directly located across from North Cobb High School so I can imagine it might get busy during the school year once school lets out. 10/10 recommend this beautiful library.

The Sturgis Library is really fantastic! Not only is it open to all KSU current students, alumni…read moreand staff but also members of the community. If you live in the are you can join the Friend of the library for $35 or $100 for a lifetime membership. It's a bargain for what you get and the rates have been the same for at least 20 years or more. Not only can you borrow any books in the library but you can also request an interlibrary loan which allows you to borrow books from other libraries in the GA university system. I've been here many times. Not only do they have books in English but they also have books in other languages such as Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Russian and Portuguese. The staff here are also awesome! Lots of fun to talk to and always go overboard to help me with any projects I'm undertaking... As far as parking in concern it use to be you can park in the closest parking lot but those days are over. I've heard the tickets are steep these days $75. You definitely want to park over in the visitor's parking but the prices aren't too bad... the first 30 minutes are free, $3 per hour. Here is a map of all the vistor's parking areas https://parking.kennesaw.edu/docs/kennesaw_visitor_parking_map.pdf and as you can see you want to park in the parking lot near the student center if you are visiting the library. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to do research...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!…read more I wanted to review this library because it is open to the public and came through with documents that we could not locate at other libraries. I think that it is a great asset that many non-students are not aware exists for their use as well. We were looking for a copy of my husband's great, great grandfather's will. We had tried to get the book from the Atlanta library on two occasions. The first time, they sent the wrong book and the second time as we appeared in person, they stated that the book was "missing". In the mean time, I decided to call the Kennesaw State LIbrary. I was able to find the book, after some persistence ( it did not come up by title, but author so be aware of this) and was told that I could come in as a guest to make copies. I would have to get a K card and load it up like a debit card and would be good to go. We arrived at the library on Monday afternoon and proceeded to get the card, (the machine is in the library), but there was a glitch. My husband was sent to another building to address the problem. While he was gone, the sweet and helpful library assistant retrieved the book. Twenty minutes later my husband arrives with an assistant who helps us carefully make the copies we needed. Apparently, they weren't able to correct the card problem so she used her code to assist us. We obtained exactly what we needed and my husband was elated!!. My husband is a very simple, patient and humble guy. He had been looking for these documents for quite a while when I decided to quietly assist him. He was VERY appreciative and anyone who makes my husband happy is definitely tops in my book. Thank you.

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.
