  Recently moved to Villa Rica from Tn. Went to library today to secure a card. The sweet lady that took care of me could not have been nicer.
  I also noticed another lady taking care of another couple. She was also very nice. Very good experience. Looking forward to my visits.

  We have dealt with some inadequate libraries before, this one is the worst. Almost nothing we need for homeschool assignments is there! For such a nice building, it has the smallest selection of non-fiction books I have ever seen. We have to buy our own books because our tax dollars are going to a building instead of books.

  Extremely unfriendly staff. Beautiful building but our experience with the staff was terrible. Will not go back anytime soon.

  I find out I have to “renew” a library card in person? Every two years?? I’ve lived in 8 different states and have NEVER had to “renew” a library card! Last state Hawai’i-one million ppl in Honolulu-NO renewal in 25 years!
  So Friday I drive up the Dallas Hwy to get to the new library. One two lane road--backed up for miles. I got out of my car and asked why? Guy said “It’s a very busy road..ALWAYS this busy.” So I wait and see the new library sign flashing upcoming events. HOURS! Friday: Open until 5:30 pm. So I wait in traffic, FINALLY drive in, park..it’s closed! What?
  Yeah for Easter weekend they decide to close both Friday and Saturday! (of course closed on Sundays!) Thanks for telling us! CHANGE YOUR SIGN!
  
  But of course I can’t renew my card online--which means I can’t put a hold on a book from another library! Absolutely ridiculous--THEN--I can’t get out! No stop light--nothing. Cars backed up in Northbound lane back two miles. I CAN’T GET OUT! Took me 45 minutes until one of these locals let me out to make a left hand turn--which is dangerous as you can’t see any cars coming with the LONG LINE OF CARS!
  STUPID place to build a library. Stupidity to shut down for three days. This is a state library-NOT a church. Stay open for people!
  
  And WHY does a card need to be renewed every two years in person? Ever heard of computers???

  My whole family loves the new library. Our ages are 2 girl, 12 boy, 15 boy, 17 , 32 and 54 female. There are areas for everyone to read, work, play or just relax. Even though it's much bigger, it still feels just as cozy. It is very quiet. The children's area, however, can be pretty noisy as expected(especially when my daughter is there). I'm giving a 4 star overall rating because on two different occasions, the same lady was rude to my mother while simply checking out. You can still consider us frequent visitors. Thanks to Villa Rica Library! :)

  I visited the new library for the first time today and the library itself looks great. However, this was overshadowed by the unfriendliness of the staff. As a long-time cardholder of the West GA Regional Library System, I have always been very pleased when talking to staff. The Buchanan-Haralson Public Library is a personal favorite because staff members have always been very welcoming, helpful, and seem to have a real passion for their work. I saw none of that today, or the charm that I have come to expect from libraries in general. In comparison, the Villa Rica Public Library felt cold and unwelcoming. Although I will not likely return in the near future, I hope this will improve as time goes on.

  I love this library. All the staff are very helpful and very polite. If they don't have the book you are looking for they make sure to order it and hold it for you.

  It has that small but cozy kind of feel to it. It has a pretty good amount of books for such a puny thing and a good vitiate to. Lots of non fiction for all you realistic needs and and a nice large amount of area focused on children's books and fiction. They also have graphic novels even though it's not a lot. They also have ton of movies you can check out and it's quiet so you can do work

  I went to Villa Rica Library for the first time today, and it was not a great experience. I had to print resumes for a job fair, and it took 30 minutes to print 15 pages!!!
  
  On top of that it cost 25 cents/page to print, which is more expensive than the other libraries in the west georgia region. It was more expensive, but ran worse than the other printers at other libraries.
  
  I will definitely not return to this library.
