The City of Marietta highlighted the return of Sunday hours to the Switzer Library, the main branch of the Cobb Public Library system, located on Roswell Street near Marietta Square.

The city posted the following to its website:

MARIETTA – Starting after Labor Day weekend, Charles D. Switzer Library, 266 Roswell Street, in downtown Marietta, will be open on Sunday afternoons, 1 pm to 5 pm, for the first time since the pandemic forced operational changes two years ago in public libraries across the country.

The resumption of seven days a week library service is an important step of opening up access for Cobb library patrons to vital resources, said Terri Tresp, Division Director of Branch Services. Also opening for the same Sunday afternoon hours are the Mountain View, South Cobb and West Cobb libraries.

“These four libraries are weekend destinations,” Tresp said. “Our doors will be open Sundays for students of all ages, busy teens and adults needing more convenient opportunities to visit libraries, and babies and toddlers enjoying fun, meaningful time with families.”
