In its continuation of community support, South Cobb Regional Library (SCRL) is showing its love this February. Literally.

In addition to its staple of arts & craft and activity events that enrich the lives of Mableton, the library is extending both the holiday spirit for Valentine’s Day with Playing Cards Wreaths and its outreach in the community by hosting the Freeman Poole Book Discussion.

These two events align with adults and seniors, but SCRL is spreading the love to all ages with events such as such as Family Crafternoon, Belly Dance, and Lego Build. One of the big events for children (6-12 y.o.) that will close out February at South Cobb Regional Library is the Artz for the Harp introductory workshop. Kids will learn about the harp as well as a song or two on the instrument. (See details for some events below.)

The feature events this month, which put SCRL’s care and support of the community on full display, are screenings which would encourage people to reciprocate The Love and extend it into their everyday lives, in their own individual ways. These films ask people to love themselves, their families, and to care about where they live. So much so as to inherit the theme of the first film in the lineup (which presents in the other two films in different ways) and use “The Glow” to make a difference, individually and socially. In doing so, the goal (as it appears) is to kindle selfless participation or contribution in the community.

Be it volunteering to Keep Cobb Beautiful, or voicing concerns over policies or practices that would rob Mableton and individuals of self-love at city, school board, and county meetings. Through community involvement, South Cobb Regional Library gets back the love it meters out month after month.

The three films playing at South Cobb Regional Library for the Month of Love are:

The Last Dragon (1985)

11:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Barbie (2023)

@SCRL, Feb. 14

Here’s a quick recap of some events happening at South Cobb Regional Library this February:

  • Playing Card Wreaths,beginning February 2nd and occurring M-W-F’s throughout the month (while supplies last);
  • Freeman Poole Book Discussion, every third Thursday of the month with this month’s meeting occurring February 15th at 10:30 AM. (NOTE: The club meets at the Freeman Poole Senior Center. Directions provided here.)
