A cure for the rant is always a good anti-rant.

Thanks.

Tons of books for kids with a nice reading space for them, free computers and the staff is always nice.

It may help that I am originally from Peru where we don’t have a library that is even close to this in terms of material, infrastructure or anything. To me it is a jewel.

The series of author appearances presented by Georgia Center for the Book is incomparable and a real asset to Decatur. I feel that we are lucky that the Center for the Book is headquartered right here in Decatur.

Like night and day comparing the 2. Spacious, clean, very comfy, and even has chairs surrounding a fireplace! Certainly something to aspire to.

- Building Blocks (for the 0-24 months group). Unfortunately, I see that it’s no longer offered at the Decatur Branch, but it’s available at the Toco Hill Branch, but not on weekends or evenings which is a bummer for working parents
- Friends of the Library
- Author readings
- Role in Decatur Book Festival
- Being next to Decatur Rec
- Good, if unattractive, parking that also works for Decatur Rec
- Drive-by book drop (so don’t have to drag noisy kids inside to return books!)–a bit of a narrow fit for minivans but doable
- Website: I need to go to it more. Just did and found a couple of fun things I didn’t know about like book clubs for both adults and children and a crochet group! (Crochet needles are good protection for juvenile uprisings and the weapons would actually be out and ready for use!)
