What a beautiful library! So grateful it is thriving and bustling! I stopped by tonight on a whim and a walk and boy was I pleasantly surprised! Helpful, friendly staff, very clean, neat, quiet and tidy. Love the online reserve system as well!
Anyone who complains about this library is crazy. Return your items on time and you won’t have to pay fines!

I love having a Smyrna city library. And they have a suprising number of the books that I am looking for. It’s free to Smyrna city residence to get a card. They have a selection of magazines, newspapers, separate science fiction section, large print, and YA titles. They have an online catalog and you can put holds through that system. Plenty of free parking behind the building. They are open all 7 days, which is fantastic.

I just read some of the negative reviews about this library and I am shocked! First off, the library is a public institution that struggles to survive and when you can’t be responsible enough to return your materials, you get charged. It’s been that way since libraries original existence.
Next point, «The Smyrna Public Library is the oldest city operated library in the state of Georgia and has provided service to the residents of Smyrna for seventy years.» Of course it smells, like old pages and book glue. It definitely has that nostalgic feeling of going in to the library when you were a kid. However, it is not outdated. There is a huge selection of books, DVD’s /​CD’s and reference materials along with an enormous children’s section.
Third point is that the outdoor surroundings could not be more beautiful. The library is tucked away in the heart of Smyrna, the Village Green. There are parks, large areas for picnicking, a nice playground and it’s all next to the commercial spaces where there are several good restaurants and shops.
Anyone who gives this library a bad review doesn’t know squat about libraries.

Clean, quiet, staff is friendly. Extra star is for the surroundings. I like the small pond and walk path nearby.

Beautiful library with beautiful surroundings. Clean & quiet. Haven’t had contact with staff so not sure about the service. I come to study, so the free wi-​fi is all I need & it works well.

Now charging an INSANE amount of money for overdue DVDs…
Apparently I didn’t get the memo that they are charging TEN FREAKING DOLLARS for each late DVD checkout…
I was about 5 days late returning 3 DVDs that I checked out on travel, and my total is $ 30! It will be a cold day in hell before that comes out of my wallet for some DVDs that I dont even own… I am now having to dispute it. What is the point of taking down all personal information when you first apply for a library card (like mailing addresses and email addresses) if they are not going to use it to let people know when they are going to inflate fees???
For anyone who checks out anything at the library make sure that you return it on time or they wil Bernie Madoff your ass with the quickness…

About a month ago, I decided to re-​visit the library. I’d been there a couple of times before several years ago. When I got there, I’d forgotten just how big it is. There’s a big selection of everything from books to magazines to dvds and cds too. They also have a large children’s section, and lots of spaces to use if you want to take your laptop and get some work done there. They’ll also let you know via e-​mail when your items are due back… very handy!

The process for obtaining a library card here is quite simple. Show proof of residency and the world of borrowed multi-​media is yours. Just make sure it’s returned by the due date.
The library is located just opposite the Smyrna Community Center or courthouse on the south side. It’s a great place to drop in see what’s new while taking a stroll through the area.
In addition to borrowing books, DVDs, books on tape there is children’s story time. There are meeting rooms ready for reservation.

I’d been buying books, reading them once (or not at all) and letting them fill up my bookshelves. Now, when there’s a book or movie I’m looking to read/​see I always check the library’s website before heading to B&N.
If they have the book and it’s not «in» you can place a hold and they will call and notify you when it’s ready. You can also renew books online.
For the past few months, I’ve been able to check out the monthly selection for my book club with no problem. They also have many DVDs that Blockbuster still has on the «New Release» shelf.
The only cons I’ve found are the non-​fiction section (upstairs) can be confusing the first few times and DVDs can’t be left in the curb-​side book returns… pretty minor.
