For February 2025, South Cobb Regional Library (SCRL)’s steadfast commitment to its community presents itself through an ensemble of events.
For starters, SCRL continues its one-hour long weekend English Classes for Spanish Speakers and is open to those whose first language is Spanish and want to improve their English. (Class registration is required.) Then, in preparation for the tax season, the library teams up with AARP (from February 3rd to April 14th) to offer Free AARP Tax-Aide; this volunteer run service requires an appointment, which may be made in-person or online, either through AARP’s website or by email.
As February is also Black History Month and the month of love, South Cobb Regional Library has scheduled two Monthly Movie Matinees. 2022’s biographical drama of Mamie Till’s pursuit of justice in Till shows first, on the 7th; and 1996’s romantic crime film, William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet shows on the 14th. Each viewing is on a Friday and starts at 3 PM.
Finally, the staple of children and family programs, such as Read to Koda or any Storytime event, fills the month for South Cobb Regional Library. The library’s dedication to fostering a love of reading in young minds demonstrates its love of community.
In addition, here are some key events that will promote community connections through watercoloring, birding, and escapism:
- Adult Art Night, Wednesday, February 4th at 5:00 PM.
- Valentine’s Day Party, Friday, February 14th at 10:30 AM.
- Backyard Birding and Making Suet, Wednesday, February 19th at 11:00 AM.
- Graphic Novel Book Club, Monday, February 24th at 6:00 PM.
As always, check out that book, and get your creativity on. Your brain will thank you.
