Memorial Day traditionally marks the first day of summer—though the summer solstice is June 20th—and as the holiday had come and gone, it offered kids a long weekend as a last-day-of-school treat. After a year of academic and recreational rigors, what better way to ease into summer than by unwinding for a few days? Perhaps in preparation for prom, graduation, or entry into the real world through service or employment.

Whatever is a young person’s schedule after the Memorial Day weekend, South Cobb Regional Library has scheduled events to make June a great start to the season. The library’s six-month mark offers a host of events for children of all ages, from toddlers to high school seniors. There’s Baby Time, 4H Yoga for Kids, and the Great Oreo Taste Test. June’s events at SCRL are so numerous that the library could be a surrogate summer camp—complete with breakfast and lunch every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Okay, surrogate summer camp may be hyperbole, but coupling the library’s community support with its wide selection of books and more, then adventures abound to keep young minds and bodies preoccupied, at least for the first few weeks of summer.

Here are other events at South Cobb Regional Library for children (and adults alike) that promise a fun start to summer:

  • Handmade Soap for Beginners, June 4th, Tuesday (18+).
  • Juice Boxes and Paint Brushes, June 21st, Friday (for children, ages 5-10).
  • Stuffed Animal Sleepover, June 24th, Monday (for children).
  • Backyard Chickens 101, June 29th, Saturday (for adults).

Please also note that the South Cobb Regional Library shall be closed for Juneteenth on Wednesday, June 19th.

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