EARTH MONTH IN WEST COBB
Perhaps known as a community hub of fun, with staples like Open Play Chess, Mahjong MeetUp, and Dungeons and Dragons, West Cobb Regional Library is also a center of knowledge and education.
As April 2025 is Earth Month, the library’s Homeschool Eco Explorers program is scheduled to educate children five to eleven years of age on sustainability. April 3rd, 10th, 17th shall teach the concepts of reduction, reuse, and recycling (respectively); and on April 24th, children will celebrate Earth Day.
Each program begins at 11:15 AM (after doors open at 11 AM) and runs for forty-five minutes. To learn more about Homeschool Eco Explorers, visit the Cobb County Public Library’s website here.
Earth Month can also be celebrated at home with Rain Gardens. Presented by Cobb County Water System’s Division of Communications and Education, parents and or adults will learn how a rain garden can make for interesting landscapes that sustain the beauty and value of their properties, or how a rain garden can gentrify the grounds of their home, protecting it from erosion. West Cobb Regional Library is scheduled to host this educational event on Tuesday, April 8th at 2:00 PM.
