Happy New Year.

This past winter’s solstice, I commented on an analysis of a key scene in Star Wars VI – Return of the Jedi and spoke to the Force not being inherently good or bad. That, in fact, it is a matter of the individual nature of the characters in that universe (or the social constitution of people or a community, including their reality and spirituality, and that’s if we want to keep it real) which determine the Force’s usage as “good” or “evil”. There’s also similar preconception with Avatar that’s aligned more with Native American culture.

However, in reviewing the January 2024 schedule for South Cobb Regional Library (SCRL), I couldn’t help but think of how balanced it is, as to resemble the Force. With events such as Computer Basic Boot Camp and Belly Dance offering the opportunity to master technology and or improve one’s overall fortitude, the start of a new year seems as good a time as any to harness the Force, so to speak. This is the impression of SCRL’s January schedule. It is the catalyst for individuals to start the new year channeling their energies to be better and, on the off chance, do better. To do good, and hopefully benefit the city of Mableton and its communities, if not the whole of Cobb or this nation’s society.

To this end, SCRL has also scheduled the following events for betterment this month:

  • Quick and Easy Magnet Craft Kits, beginning January 3rd, occurring M-W-F’s (while supplies last);
  • Winter 2024 GED Classes, beginning January 4th through to March 26, Tuesdays and Thursdays, at 2:00 PM. (Note: GED classes are for adults 18+ years old and require registration with Cobb\Paulding Adult Education Center (AEC) at 678-594-8011, ext. 246; each class runs until 5:00 PM; and there will be no classes on January 16 this month.);
  • Basics for the Bowl, January 10th at 11:30 AM and January 16th at 6:30 PM.
  • Southeast Indigenous Lifestyle Cultural Presentation, January 16th at 4:00 PM.

Please also note that the South Cobb Regional Library shall be closed for New Year’s Day on January 1st and on MLK Day, January 15th. (These dates fall on Mondays of the month.)

As always, check out that book, and get your creativity on. Your brain will thank you.
