The weekend before 2026’s first equinox, on March 20th with spring’s renaissance, the Cobb County Public Library Spring Book Sale will offer unbeatable deals on books. Alongside the “spring-cleaning” event, Mountain View Regional Library has scheduled a couple of events to sustain and encourage personal growth—albeit through gardening and story.
On March 10th, the library will host Master Gardener Volunteers of Cobb for its Gardener’s Night Out: Seed Starting event. This volunteer organization strives to cultivate conscientious gardeners, and on Tuesday evening of the 10th, at 6:30 PM, representatives will educate and guide adult attendees in a session to prepare or start a seed. They offer tips on germination and the transplanting of seedlings. All supplies will be provided for the event.
Following this on March 20th, Mountain View Library will host Smith-Gilbert Gardens for Garden Storytime. Nia Fitzhugh, education and program coordinator for Smith-Gilbert, will lead children (3-5 years) into the official first day of spring. It’ll be a Friday morning of reading garden-themed stories, singing songs, engaging activities, and sensory exploration. The fun begins at 10:30 AM.
Other events scheduled for March at Mountain View Regional Library are:
- Art with Ayanna, Monday, March 2nd at 4:00 PM
- Page Turners Book Group, Wednesday, March 4th at 10:30 AM
(Tom Lakeby Ann Patchett)
- Book-A-Librarian Tech Help, Fridays at 10:30 AM
- Dungeons & Dragons & Beyond, Tuesday, March 17th & 31st at 5:00 PM
