All is calm for December at South Cobb Regional Library (SCRL), leading up to Christmas and the New Year.
Weekday Winter Card Making tows the library’s schedule this month amid a solid staple of activities for children and adults. There’s Baby Time and Cocoa and Paint Brushes for kids while adults may look forward to the Graphic Novel Book Club online and the Book Tree Workshop. Hooks and Books is the only event open to everyone, from elementary school kids to eighteen plus.
In keeping with the Mable House Arts Center Lights the Night and Tree Jubilee, for which South Cobb Regional Library decorated a tree in the spirit of gothic literature, the library is also “Making Christmas” the highlight of a month of learning, creativity, and entertainment. Science, art, and movie magic are gifts from South Cobb Regional Library to the community this month.
To this, here’s the short list of events which may be of interest:
- STEAM Kids, December 5th, Thursday at 3:30 PM (registration required).
- TEEN Crafting Hour, December 12th, Tuesday at 4:30 PM.
- Welcome Winter! Storytime, December 20th, Friday at 10:30 AM.
- Monthly Movie Matinee (Black Christmas), December 27th, Friday at 3:00 PM.
Please note South Cobb Regional Library shall be closed for Christmas Eve on Tuesday, December 24th; Christmas Day on Wednesday, December 25th; and New Year’s Eve on Tuesday, December 31st.
As always, check out that book, and get your creativity on. Your brain will thank you.
