So many minds in the gutter!
I like the George Bush presidential library in College Station, TX; it currently has an exhibit about father and son Presidents - so it's showcasing the Georges and the John Adamses.
It's easy to get to; fly in Houston's Intercontinental Airport, rent a car, and then it's about 90 miles away. You can also fly Continental directly into CS, but you'll need to change planes in Houston.
The LBJ library in Austin is good too.

I love Presidential Libraries and have visited many.
I don't think there is one best, but here are some of my picks.
Kennedy -- a great setting and a complete library.
Truman -- a must see when in the general Kansas City vicinity.
Reagan -- likewise a very nice setting and very good exhibits.
Nixon -- Even handled the Watergate mess with dignity.
Ones that I would skip
LBJ -- seemed incomplete to me.
Carter -- more of a center for studies than a library. Not that much on the man at all.
Ford -- needs more work to be comparable to the others.
If you want to hit more than one library you can go to Los Angeles and go to both the Nixon and Reagan.
