With rain and humidity forecasted to start the 2024-2025 school year, beginning August 1st (for the county), South Cobb Regional Library (SCRL) is ready for the academic transition. The library touts a light schedule of events for August. The bulk of this schedule are staples for its calendar months that support the community, such as Project U First’s daily hygiene donation drive and classes for Computer Basics and Digital Literacy. SCRL has also planned some significant happenings for the last month of summer.
Amid a number of events scheduled for older kids and their release from school, making South Cobb Regional Library a chill after-school haven, parents (and adults in general) can also take advantage of those significant events that may interest them. After all, South Cobb Regional Library serves everyone.
Some of the significant events scheduled for August are:
- CAREing Paws: Read to Koda, August 5th, Monday at 3:30 PM. (Sign up at the Children’s desk! Space is limited);
- English Classes for Spanish Speakers, beginning August 17th, Saturdays at 1:00 PM, thru to October 5th. (Note: Purchase of the book “English for Everyone (Libro de Estudio, Nivel 1 Incial)” is required.);
- Lego Build, August 19th, Monday, at 2:00 PM;
- Library Board of Trustees Meeting, August 26th, Monday at 6:30 PM.
Have a wonderful school year.
As always, check out that book, and get your creativity on. Your brain will thank you.
