Hampton Park Library

This is our favorite place during the summer or anytime really. Weekly story time keeps us coming back. Hampton park is also the place I go to donate blood with the Red Cross.
It is amazing how many options you have when checking out material. I spend most of my time in the kids section. Not only do they have a huge selection of books but computer games and movies can be checked out.

I went into this library today, and my jaw hit the floor.
This place is IMMACULATE. It literally looks and feels like a Barnes and Nobles inside! Gone are the rickety, metal book shelves and grey carpets — hello warm, cozy interior with dark wood shelves and visually pleasing directional signs. This place is set up very well — things are clearly labeled and the flow of the place is natural. I want to spend hours just nestled in some corner with a good book — probably will happen sooner or later.
They have a nice quiet room with deep set, fancy arm chairs, and the librarian told me that they are expecting add some study spaces in the next year — so even though this place is relatively new (2010) — they are still upgrading and adding new ways to make it more comfortable.
I was blown away by the selection. I guess I am used to Dekalb County Libraries, which are many, but the selection of books is spread out between them. This library had a very well-​rounded selection — I was able to find all of the books I wanted whereas as the other libraries I go to, I couldn’t find them. I was really impressed by their selection of Audio Books — something I like to listen to in the car and when I am knitting. This is definitely a plus. They also have a whole wall with classics — several copies of each — which is smart because people tend to read those often and having multiple copies is so helpful. They have three times to teen books compared to my other library.
The librarians were so helpful in guiding me through the system, explaining events and the website — not to mention they have so many audio books and e-​books available online! I am going to be visiting this place once a week! Cannot stop raving about it!
