In the first month of 2025, South Cobb Regional Library (SCRL) remains consistent with a staple of events for children and adults. Of these, a few notable ones are scheduled for the first week, which are Teen Crafting Hour, a couple of Monthly Movie Matinees (Fist Fight and Selma, Lord, Selma), and a continuation of English Classes for Spanish Speakers (i.e. Clases de Inglés Básico Para Hispanohablantes).
The crafting hour for teens shall guide young people in creating vision boards; Fist Fight stars Tracy Morgan and Ice and is an action-comedy (18+); and the English class (for Spanish speakers) has a student limit of ten people, to which this hour-long class shall use a self-study course book.
Other event staples schedule throughout the month of January and geared for young children are Stay and Play, Baby Time, and Family Storytime.
Here’s a short list of key events which may be of interest:
- Adult Art Night, January 7th, Saturday at 11:00 AM (16+).
- Alphabet Storytime, January 17th, Monday at 6:30 PM.
- 1000 Books B4 Kindergarten Celebration, January 25th, Tuesday at 4:00 PM.
- My Point of View (A Panel on Blindness), January 30th, Wednesday at 6:00 PM.
Please note South Cobb Regional Library shall be closed for New Year’s Day on Wednesday, January 1st and for Martin Luther King Day on Monday, January 20th.
As always, check out that book, and get your creativity on. Your brain will thank you.
