The words "Quiz Time" in large cartoon font

By Larry Felton Johnson

The Cobb County Public Library is a fantastic resource for residents. Although book checkout is still an important part of its mission, modern libraries are so much more. The library has entertainment and educational events, community service programs, and extensive online resources. As an example, even though I only set foot in library branches about every couple of weeks, I use the library every single day. I do business and historic research, and at the moment I have a Patricia Cornwell audio book checked out that I listen to while doing repetitive chores.

Here’s a Part 1 of what will be a series of quizzes about this fantastic community resource.

The Cobb County Courier Quiz is a regular feature designed to help readers learn more about Cobb County — its history, local government, and the issues shaping daily life here.

We publish quizzes nearly every day.

This quiz is meant to be fun and educational, not just a test of your current knowledge. Looking up answers online or in other sources is encouraged, not discouraged. If you already know the answers, great. If you don’t, that’s the point — the quiz is designed to spark curiosity and help readers better understand the county where they live. Links to source material and background information are provided below each quiz so readers can learn more.

If you’d like to be reminded of the quiz every day, you can subscribe to the Cobb County Courier newsletter using the link below. It’s free and includes a roundup of the latest local news, plus the daily version of the quiz.
