March offers Cobb County the opportunity to create and view some special portraits.

With its Monthly Makers program, North Cobb Regional Library provides young people (16+) insight to the creation of functional art. This creative exploration promises fun and sparks perhaps an entrepreneurial spirit. All one has to do is show up; materials and expertise shall be provided by the library.

This month, Monthly Makers will teach the making of painted pinecone flower portraits. The event is scheduled for the first of March, on Saturday at 11 AM. (Please know that space is limit, so reservation is required here.)

Also continuing through March, North Cobb Regional Library hosts South Cobb Art Alliance’s (SCAA) presentation of Johnny Crawford’s Vietnam: Black Soldiers Portrait Project. Billed as powerful showcase of stories, this exhibit represents the history of the 275,000 Black American men and women (from nineteen states) that served in the war’s effort, both in combat and supply services, across the whole of the United States Military.

Complementary to these events, North Cobb Regional Library has a number of book clubs and discussion groups. Its latest, the Romance Book Discussion group is scheduled for March 4^th at 6 PM. The group will discuss Ashley Poston’s A Novel Love Story. Poston herself,\ is scheduled for an author visit to the library on March 19^th at 5:30 PM.

To this, here’s the short list of other art and book club events at NCRL:

• Monday Night Murder Club (The Murder on the Links), Monday, March 3^rd at 6 PM.
• The Art Experience, Tuesday & Wednesday, March 11^th & 12^th at 6 PM.
• Wednesday Afternoon Book Discussion (Outlawed), Wednesday, March 19^th at 1 PM.
• Cover To Cover Book Discussion (How to Read a Book), Tuesday, March 25^th at 2 PM.

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