This is this my 2nd time to go to this library to get copies of a book written by a cousin of mine. I found the book last year and was making copies when one of the librians kicked us out at 5 pm. I tried to explain that we live 9.5 hrs away, didnt know when we could make it back and I only had 40ish pages left - we were doing 11 x 17 copies so we got 2 pages at a time and it would have taken me another 10 min. So we came down again early this year for a cruise and made those last copies. For the most part, thr librians leave you alone unless you have a question. Copies are .15 apiece. They have a large 'family history section' along with microfiche viewers if you are looking at census logs, passenger lists or military records. Downstairs they have many computers for research. Good place to go if you are interested in your family history

The Clayton library center for genealogical research is one of the few libraries of this type in the country. It is not a library with popular magazines and best selling books. Rather it is a storehouse of the history of this country with vital statistics, probate records, city/county/state and national histories. it is comprehensive and is very much allows you to concentrate and do your own individual research through the numerous stacks of books or online with your computer or theirs with assistance from a very knowledgeable, professional support staff

Wow, what a great resource for learning about history! I took a class there today and was very impressed by the education and support they provide, also. Highlights include access to genealogical databases, equipment for digitizing personal photos and slides, and a ton of books I never knew existed, such as family histories, accounts from people who were enslaved, and guides to getting genealogical records from other countries. I'll definitely visit again soon to find information to share with family and get inspiration for writing our own family story.

This was my very first time visiting The Clayton Family history library and the representative Amy and Rodney were great! I went in searching for information of my deceased father whom I'd only met twice. They were so helpful in helping me find a lot of information pertaining to him in school and I found pictures and found out he (Dad) was part of Student council! Definitely recommend anyone looking for information of deceased loved one or anything, this is the place to start. You won't be disappointed

I have been doing genealogy since 1999 and I have gone to many cities to do my research and gone to their libraries. The Clayton library is one of the easiest to research because they have everything divided out by state county and city. You don’t have to know the Dewey decimal system. It’s really a fantastic library to do your research in. Plus they have a very large collection of family history books. The microfiche is very user-friendly.

Staff were not helpful, and were condescending. Wasted trip, unable to assist with African American research/records, even though I had done sufficient research myself and was simply looking for further direction. Also, hours listed incorrect. I would have been better off saving my time and not even going. Staff members were unable to even point me in the right direction. Unimpressed!

I really like studying here and it provides a nice setting with ample seating. However, it seems as though the librarians are more louder than the patrons. When they walk out of their lounge and begin talking to people, they have no respect for others who are reading or trying to focus! They are sometimes inconsiderate of how loud they really are.

Came in the afternoon to get out of the heat and finish some work. It was a very chill and relaxing environment. There are plenty of tables to sit at and the staff greeted me as I walked in. Felt very welcome and will certainly be coming back again!

The library was quiet, well-staffed, and the patrons were considerate. It is low-tech, but doubling as a genealogical center, it has all the technology it needs: large work spaces, lots of copy machines, and good lighting.

The computers downstairs and microfiche area upstairs were available for research but the media rooms are closed. Friendly and professional staff was there.

This is one of the top genealogical libraries in the country! Staff is extremely helpful and their collection includes more than you might think.

I have a very very special place in my heart for Clayton Library. My mother and I used to research together here before she passed away. :)

A treasure trove of Ancestral knowledge. I’m talking about the attendants. They help you with any and all questions and researches.

One of the premiere genealogical research libraries in the US. The librarians are also extremely helpful and love history.

Clayton Library was an incredible experience for me! It allowed me to connect the dots to my long lost grandparents.

Great staff the best way to find your family history no matter where I'll be coming back
